From 1936 to 1938, David O. Selznick called Tallulah Bankhead the "first choice among established stars" to play Scarlett O'Hara in the upcoming film. Although her 1938 screen test for the role in black-and-white was superb, she photographed poorly in Technicolor. Selznick also reportedly believed that at age 36, she was too old to play Scarlett, who is 16 at the beginning of the film. Selznick then offered Bankhead the role of prostitute Belle Watling in the film, but she turned it down.
