Everyone in Hollywood knows Civil War pictures don't make a dime, but renegade producer David O. Selznick snaps up the movie rights and suddenly America has just one question: Who will play Scarlett O'Hara? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Gwendolyn Brick gets her hands on the book, the clouds part and the angels sing the Hallelujah Chorus. Only a real Southern belle can play Scarlett--and didn't her mama raise her on stories of Sherman's march and those damned Yankees? After years of slinging cigarettes at the Cocoanut Grove, Gwendolyn finds a new calling: to play Scarlett. But she's not the only gal in town with a deep-fried accent. She's going to have to stand out bigger than a hoop skirt at a Twelve Oaks barbeque to win that role. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarcus Adler is the golden boy of Cosmopolitan Pictures, the studio William Randolph Hearst started for his mistress, Marion Davies. When Marcus' screenplay becomes Davies' first hit, he's invited to Hearst Castle for the weekend. The kid who was kicked out of Pennsylvania gets to rub shoulders with Myrna Loy, Winston Churchill, and Katharine Hepburn--but when the trip turns fiasco, he starts sinking fast. He needs a new story, real big and real soon. So when F. Scott Fitzgerald moves into the Garden of Allah with a $1000-a-week MGM contract but no idea how to write a screenplay, Marcus says, \"Pleased to meetcha. We need to talk.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Selznick asks George Cukor to direct \"Gone with the Wind,\" it's the scoop of the year for Kathryn Massey, the Hollywood Reporter's newest columnist. But dare she publish it? Scoops are the exclusive domain of the Hearst papers' all-powerful, all-knowing, all-bitchy Louella Parsons. Nobody in Hollywood has ever dared to outscoop Louella--until now. When Louella comes back low and dirty, Kathryn's boss lets her dangle like a scarecrow in a summer storm. Then the telephone rings. It's Ida Koverman, Louis B. Mayer's personal secretary, and she has a proposition she'd like to make. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Trouble with Scarlett\u003c\/em\u003e is the second in Martin Turnbull's series of historical novels set during Hollywood's golden age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHollywood's Garden of Allah novels: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 1: \"The Garden on Sunset\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 2: \"The Trouble with Scarlett\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 3: \"Citizen Hollywood\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 4: \"Searchlights and Shadows\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 5: \"Reds in the Beds\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 6: \"Twisted Boulevard\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 7: \"Tinseltown Confidential\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 8: \"City of Myths\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 9: \"Closing Credits\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Turnbull's Garden of Allah novels have been optioned for the screen by film \u0026amp; television producer, Tabrez Noorani.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Turnbull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1480044776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480044777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.81d","brand":"Martin Turnbull","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992071373055,"sku":"9781480044777","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e454680-c7a0-4c39-a718-2977737cc9b5.jpg?v=1683313883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-trouble-with-scarlett-martin-turnbull-9781480044777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
