based on GARSON KANIN 's best-selling novel starring
The struggle for the most coveted role in movie history - the part of Scarlett in Gone With the Wind-involved every leading lady in Hollywood. They all wanted the role and would do anything to get it. Some actresses had stars in their eyes. Some moguls had stars on their couches. It was a game called casting. And, before it was over, the intrigue would have all Hollywood guessing and the disease that came to be known as ' Scarlett fever' would grip Tinsel town.
