The opening lines of Gone with the Wind...Brent Tarleton: "What do we care if we were expelled from college, Scarlett? The war is going to start any day now, so we’d have left college anyhow."
Scarlett O'Hara: "Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk’s spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream."
Vivien Leigh's first "fiddle-dee-dee." And it's given in response to actor Fred Crane's line.
Mr. Crane died this past Thursday of complications from diabetes.
He was the last male actor left with a credited role in the film. But he and his fellow Tarleton Twin George "Superman" Reeves will live forever. On the steps of Tara.
P.S. I don't know about what things are like where you live, but in the South, we're required to watch Gone with the Wind at LEAST once a month.I try to watch it once a week.
Just to bring out my inner-Scarlett.
As Tina Fey said about Hilary Clinton...
"Yeah, she is a bitch.
Bitches get stuff done!"
Bitches get stuff done!"

Oh, that's so sad! :-( Gone with the Wind is my favorite movie ever. I've seen it a dozen times at least. Best movie ever. Thanks for sharing this, I probably wouldn't have heard.
not to nit pick, but I think between that exchange Stuart says "War. Isn't it exciting? These fool yankees actually want a war" :)
That stinks. He and his wife bought an old bed and breakfast a few years ago outside Atlanta and named it Tarleton Oaks. I don't think it did too well but I walways wanted to go.
So, who is left, Olivia De Haviland and Cammie King?
I've...never...seen it...
