Clark Gable Refused to Cry
Clark Gable caused plenty of trouble on-set. It’s rumored that he was involved with getting the movie’s original director fired, and what’s more, he refused to act in any way that made him look vulnerable. He flat out refused to shoot a scene in which his character, Rhett Butler, cries. Fleming eventually convinced Gable to film two versions of the scene, one in which he cries and one in which he remains stoic. Fleming then used the crying version of the scene for the final film.
