What looks like a bunch of people standing around in overcoats is actually moment of Hollywood history in the making. It was taken at the Selznick studios lot in Culver City, the night of December 10, 1938. Selznick and his crew had used some old movie sets (namely The Last of the Mohicans, King Kong, The Garden of Allah, King of Kings, and Little Lord Fauntleroy) to recreate the burning of Atlanta for “Gone with the Wind.” It was also the night that David Selznick’s brother, Myron, brought his newly-signed client, Vivien Leigh, to meet David for the first time. She’d been on his radar as an outside-chance Scarlett. That’s David Selznick near the center of the photo with a cigar in his mouth and Vivien Leigh standing next to him in a hat. He later said that that he took one look and knew she was perfect. And he was right.
