Seeking:
DAVID O. SELZNICK- Legendary Hollywood producer; Jewish; mid-late 30s; fiercely determined to make Gone With the Wind a success in spite of the delays and disappointments encountered; believes in “the movies” and their power to transport audiences; highly agitated through most of the play; working on an impossible deadline to revise the screenplay for GWTW. Not above brow-beating others to get his way, Selznick spends the play cajoling, pleading, ordering and pandering to Hecht and Fleming.
BEN HECHT- Selznick’s “go-to” screenwriter, hired to rewrite the screenplay for GWTW. Jewish; mid-40s; average height; balding; former Chicago newspaperman; a devoted advocate for the Jewish relief cause as WWII looms and constantly badgers Selznick, reminding him of his heritage and responsibility to European refugees. Hasn’t read GWTW and isn’t very interested in re-writing the screenplay; believes Mitchell’s book can’t possibly be made into a successful film. His dislike for Fleming is apparent; not interested in the world of Hollywood glamour.
VICTOR FLEMING- tapped by Selznick to replace fired GWTW Director George Cukor; late 40s to 50; physically imposing; good-looking; confident; prone to histrionics; has come up through ranks from driver to cameraman to director; doesn’t like Hecht; loves the glamour of Hollywood.
MISS POPPENGHUL- Selznick’s secretary; mid-20s to mid-50s; very efficient; detailed; knows Selznick’s needs before he does.
