Stars in demand as public picks casting in films
The public’s letter campaign shapes film casting with fans backing or opposing stars for key roles in adaptations. Katharine Hepburn, Clark Gable, Norma Shearer, and others are debated as studios weigh fan sentiment against production needs and star availability. Public letters cite preferences for Carroll, Colbert, Lamarr, Tierney, and Leigh, while MGM and Warner Bros face decisions on Rhett Butler and other leads.
