On June 27, 1939, one of the most famous scenes in movie history 
was filmed: Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara parting in Gone with
the Wind. Director Victor Fleming also shot the scene using the
alternate line, “Frankly, my dear, I just don’t care,” in case the film censors objected to the word “damn.” The censors approved the
movie but fined producer David O. Selznick $5,000 for including
the curse.

Frederic Forrest, known for roles in "Apocalypse Now,"

This was Norma Jean Dougherty, a young girl posing for a photo
in 1943. Little did she know that she would become one of the
biggest stars in the world a few years after this photo was taken.

This girl went on to become Marilyn Monroe. She started out as
a model and slowly made her way into Hollywood. The rest is
history.
