Leslie Howard was considered quite the dashing matinee idol in his day and was also a very good actor. But I never pictured Ashley Wilkes that way. In my mind he looked more like Alan Jackson! Isn't that a hoot?! I've also heard that Leslie Howard didn't want to make GWTW, didn't read even bother to read the book and made absolutely no attempt to cover up his British accent. Vivian Leigh did a pretty darn good job of sounding like a southern belle but every now & then her British sort of crept through. It's pretty hard to be consistent with an accent that you weren't raised with. For Meryl Streep, however, no problem! Now Clark Gable...WOOF! He was sexy! ;-) Mark E.
