To celebrate the 70th anniversary of "Gone With the Wind," Yoostar launched 5 iconic scenes from the film, allowing you to literally step into Scarlett's shoes. Debbie and I couldn't wait to try out our Southern accents and, more importantly, get ourselves next to Rhett.  In Debbie's "Gone With the Wind" performance, she pulled out the handkerchief to play Scarlett in mourning when Rhett tells her he can't go on any longer without her. "You really are the most ill-bred man to come here at a time like this!" she tells him while choking back tears. "So, I see, I shall have to marry you," Rhett replies. Debbie/Scarlett tells him, "I've never heard of such bad taste." Be sure to ask him for a big diamond, Scarlett! In my first "Gone With the Wind" performance, Rhett told me: "I don't think I'll kiss you, though you need kissing badly." I countered with, "And I suppose you think you're the proper person?" When he replied in his non-committal way, "I might be -- if the right moment ever came," I told him that he was a "conceited, black-hearted varmint." It was a lot of fun and flirtation without leaving my living room. In my second "Gone With the Wind" performance, I told Rhett that I was fond of him, but not madly in love with him. Then he asked me what kind of engagement ring I wanted. I told him: "Oh, a diamond Rhett! And do buy a great big one!" He told me he would buy me the biggest and most vulgar diamond in all of Atlanta. But then he called me a hypocrite, so romance is definitely confusing.But why stop there? I decided to bring Scarlett into scenes from other movies to create some Yoostar Movie Mash-ups. For example, what if the Southern Belle had Lou Costello working for her? Find out in "Scarlett O'Hara Meets Lou Costello." Or, what if Scarlett was a sorority girl at Faber College with John Belushi and the "Animal House" gang? Check out Scarlett's Lunch With Bluto to see how that might've gone. Or, what if Scarlett when out on a date with Thornton Melon (Rodney Dangerfield) from "Back to School?" See for yourself in "Scarlett O'Hara's Date With Thornton Melon." What if Scarlett's relationship with Thornton didn't go so well (her love life wasn't so lucky, after all), and they ended up breaking up? Check out "Scarlett O'Hara and Thornton Melon's Divorce."
