Warner Brothers keeps releasing these fact sheets on Gone with the Wind for the 75th Anniversary of the film, and the special DVD re-release. This one is on the search for Scarlett. This fact sheet claims Vivien Leigh's eyes were blue, and that green dresses, make-up, and touch-ups in post-production made them green. According to all that I've read about Vivien her eyes were green, and in fact she left her eyes to science when she died so they could study them, but scientist couldn't accept them, because she had TB. I wonder if perhaps they just enhanced the color? A quick internet search showed in most photos, not from GWTW, her eyes look green, but in a few they do look blue. Perhaps they were a blue-green. Interesting no comments were made about changing Clark Gable, and Cammie King's eye color in post-production. Rhett had brown eyes and Bonnie's were blue. In real life, Gable's eyes were described as grey-green and Cammie's were brown. Interesting trivia tidbit, Cammie King was best friends with Judy Lewis, Loretta Young and Clark Gable's daughter.
