Gossip Friday: Scarlett O’Hepburn

From November 1938:

“Idiot’s Delight” with Norma Shearer and Clark Gable, is pushing toward the finish line and Gable expects to rest over the Christmas holidays in preparation for a prospective start on “Gone with the Wind,” shortly after the first of the year. Gable and others predict that Katharine Hepburn will be announced shortly for the Scarlett O’Hara role.

I like Hepburn and all, but it’s hard to imagine that she was seriously considered for the part.
