It's a little shameful to admit, but I haven't actually seen Gone With the WInd.

I know it's a classic of Hollywood and a very influential film for a number of reasons. I know that Hattie McDaniel became the first African-American person to win an Academy Award for her work in this film, even though the awards ceremony was racially segregated. And I know that Vivian Leigh was beautiful.

But this is about Barbie.

Best I can tell, there have been four different Barbies released as Scarlett O'Hara, and one Ken as Rhett Butler.

This 1994 collection came packaged in boxes with a cutout for the face that opened up to show information about the film on the inside as well as, of course, the doll herself.

The red one in particular puts me in mind of something. At first I thought perhaps it was one of the dolls from the Great Fashions of the 20th Century series, but that's not it. Does anyone know what this doll is reminding me of?

I am sure if I had seen the film, I would be able to talk about the references here to the fashions of the film, but none of these look like the "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" dress, which is 100% of Scarlett's fashion from the film that I know, so I am out of my depth.

I have been saving the best until last though because I love this green dress, and this hat that out of context I think makes her look like Robin Hood.

I looked up a reference picture for this one and it is just as charming - if not more so - on Vivien Leigh.

I have been avoiding talking about the Ken though, because I think they did Clark Gable dirty with this depiction. His suit looks illfitting, and his moustache looks much less flattering.

Poor Rhett Butler. Why did Mattel do you like that?

Jane Russell

Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell (born June 21, 1921 in Bemidji, Minnesota) was one of Hollywood's leading sex symbols in the 1940s and 1950s, known better as Jane Russell. Reputed for her beauty and figure, she first signed with RKO and starred in over 20 films, including The Outlaw (1943) and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953). At the age of 89, she passed at her home in Santa Maria of a respiratory-related illness.

Audrey Hepburn & William Holden during the production of Billy Wilder’s last film for Paramount, the romantic comedy, “Sabrina.” Hepburn and Holden began a brief passionate, well publicized love affair during filming.

Hepburn’s other male costar Humphrey Bogart wanted his wife Lauren Bacall to be cast as Sabrina & complained that Hepburn required too many takes to get her dialogue right and pointed out her inexperience.

Bosley Crowther, writing for The New York Times … praised Hepburn’s performance, “ she is wonderful — a young lady of extraordinary range of sensitive and moving expressions within such a frail and slender frame”.

Good Morning Saturday.

The whole thing between Will Smith and Chris Rock caused the old story that John Wayne had to be restrained by half-a-dozen security guys to keep from charging down Sacheen Littlefeather at the ‘73 Oscars to crop up again which inspired somebody to actually do some research into whether or not it actually happened. And what do you know? It looks like it was a bunch of nonsense that got made up after Wayne’s death.  Not excusing Wayne, mind. The man was a huge reactionary and racist piece of shit but I had my doubts that an elderly man dying of cancer and who recently had a lung removed would be much trouble for one security guard, much less six. Fascinated by the legend though, because it both wants to tear Wayne down while also completely buying into his bigger-than-life screen persona? “Sure, he’s a horrible old racist but my god, what a badass! SIX SECURITY GUARDS!”
