Which actress played two of American film’s Southern belles, Scarlett O’Hara and Blanche DuBois? Correct Answer Vivien Leigh
Vivien Leigh was awarded the role of Scarlett O’Hara in the David O. Selznick production of Margaret Mitchell's best-seller Gone with the Wind (1939). She won the role over hundreds of other candidates, much to the surprise of industry insiders. Her screen portrayal of Mitchell’s resilient heroine earned her not only international popularity but also an Academy Award. She earned a second Academy Award for her searing portrayal of the tragically delusional Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), the screen version of the Tennessee Williams play.
