Katie Scarlett O'Hara Hamilton Kennedy
Butler -
The feisty eldest child of Gerald
and Ellen O'Hara,
her given name was Katie Scarlett.
She had a pointed chin and a square
jaw,
with pale green eyes tilted slightly
at the ends, surrounded by thick lashes.
Her skin was "magnolia white"
and she had an extremely small seventeen
inch waistline!
(The smallest in three counties!)
She was a wonderful flirt and if
she decided she wanted something,
she did whatever it took to get
it!
Her greatest dream was to be just
like her mother,
the greatest lady in the world,
in Scarlett's opinion.
The only problem was she was afraid
she would miss the joys of life
and many beaux by being just,
truthful, tender, and unselfish.
She married a total of three men:
Charles
Hamilton, out of spite
Frank Kennedy,
out of desperation
Rhett Butler,
out of wild abandon
Rhett Butler -
Rhett is first introduced at the
Wilkes' Barbque.
He was about twenty years older
than Scarlett
making him around 35, tall, powerfully
built,
with wide shoulders and heavy
muscles.
He had very white teeth and a close-clipped
black moustache.
He was dark and swarthy as a pirate,
with bold, black eyes.
He had a think hawk nose over full
red lips, a high forehead, and wide-set eyes.
He had a bad reputation because
he took a Charleston girl buggy-riding
and they stayed out nearly all night
and walked home,
saying the horse had run away and
smashed the buggy
and they had gotten lost in the
woods.
He had refused to marry her
and the girl's brother called him
out for a duel and Rhett won,
and he had to leave Charleston and
nobody received him.
He noticed Scarlett at the Barbque
and witnessed her desperate plea
for Ashley to run away with her.
He became a daring blockade runner
for the Confederacy
and later enlisted in the Confederate
army.
He pursued her for years,
having to wait until her second
husband was killed before he could marry her.
He was rich, dashing, and dangerous.
He and Scarlett had a daughter together,
Bonnie Blue.
Bonnie was killed when her pony
jumped a fence and she fell, breaking her neck.
He almost lost his mind, and
ended up leaving Scarlett.

How to Catch A Man ...
Scarlett O'Hara Style !!!
Magnolia white skin- prized by southerners-
shielded from the sun by shawls,
bonnets, and lacy parasols!
Acting like she didn't eat any more
than a bird!
Walking when she wanted to run!
Saying she felt faint after a waltz
when she could dance for two days
and never get tired!
Saying "How wonderful you are!" to
even fool men!
Pretending she didn't know anything
so men could tell her things and
feel important!
Acting silly to catch a man!
Pretending to faint, acting empty-headed,
and coquetish!
She dropped her eyes downward and
nibbled daintily!
She laughed and made her earings
dance!
She tossed her head at their compliments
and swore she didn't believe anything
they said!
She managed to turn the conversation
to herself,
without men ever realizing it!
She smoothed men's vanities while
keeping them on a string!
She knew how to smile so that her
dimples leaped!
She walked pigeon-toed so that her
hoops swayed!
She knew how to look up into a man's
face
and then drop her eyes and bat the
lids rapidly
so that she seemed a-tremble with
emotion!
She learned to conceal her intelligence
beneath a face as sweet and bland
as a baby's!
She never interupted gentlemen when
they were speaking,
even if she thought she knew
more about matters than they did!
She curbed her temper and appeared
sweet-natured!
She made a man feel like the smartest
and most special person in the whole
world !!!
