Story
Marcella Martin (her stage name) was screen-tested for the role of Scarlett O'Hara for the pending production of "Gone With the Wind." For some weeks she was the leading candidate for the role, until Vivien Leigh was tested and chosen. She nonetheless got a speaking role in the movie, as Cathleen Calvert, Cathleen who tells Scarlett O'Hara at the Twelve Oaks staircase about Rhett Butler. She was Leigh's coach in Southern dialect through the movie and reportedly was Leigh's roommate on location.
Maxwell Arnow, David Selznick's scout searching for actresses to play Scarlett, interviewed scores of hopefuls and reported this to his boss about Marcella Martin in a memo dated Nov. 16, 1938:
"The results of the eighteen day trip through the South were quite meager with one exception. In Louisiana, at the Shreveport Little Theatre, ran across a girl by the name of Marcella Martin. This girl is quite good looking, has a nice figure, and is a grand actress. Without doubt she is the best of the hundreds of people that I interviewed during my trip."
