Scarlett Goes to Bonaventure



Today marks the introduction of another character to my Gene Marshall blog: Scarlett O’Hara from "Gone with the Wind," as portrayed by Vivien Leigh. This is the Tonner version of the scene where Scarlett and Ashley Wilkes are caught in an innocent embrace by two of the local magpies. Called “Don’t Look Back,” it is definitely one of my favorite costumes from the film.

I have decided to place Scarlett in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. I have melded two of my photographs to make a portrait of one of my favorite movie characters. Hope you enjoy.

  2. Thanks Nikkie. I photoshopped the eyes a bit to make them a little less "Stepford" looking!

  3. Dave, know what. I had to succumb to getting "Don't Look Back". I like this picture of Scarlett. I know you put the two photos together but she seems to have been shot in that scene. The lighting is accurate and the doll is really a stunner, isn't she?

  4. GWTW: I hope you like her when you get her or else I'll feel responsible! She really is a very good likeness of Vivien. My only gripes would be the jewelry; not sure why Tonner missed the boat on that one. Red jewels with a blue outfit? But that's a small gripe. - Dave
