 Very few of the cast members liked the characters they were playing.  Clark Gable (qv) was appeased into taking his role by letting him  make arrangements to marry Carole Lombard (I) (qv);  Rand Brooks (qv) was a rough outdoorsman who had to play a wimpy  character; Butterfly McQueen (qv) was a very shy person;  Leslie Howard (I) (qv) felt he was too old for his role; etc.
