A Clark Gable loan-out agreement for Gone With the Wind Typed Document Signed ("David O. Selznick," "Al Lichtman"), 5 pp, dated August 25, 1938, between Selznick and MGM (Loew's Inc.), regarding the use of Clark Gable's services as Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind; together with a Typed Document Signed, 1 p, dated December 6, 1938, on MGM letterhead, regarding the loan-out. Selznick knew that Gable was the only star who could truly play the coveted role of Rhett Butler (and he was the public's first choice as well). This pivotal talent contract is the ultimate loan-out deal of Hollywood's Golden Age and spells out in specific detail when and under what circumstances Gable could be used. Gable's last picture before reporting to Selznick was Idiot's Delight (1939), and that film figures prominently in the deal as to when Gable might be ready for filming of Margaret Mitchell's epic. His salary of $4,500 per week is also covered, as well as details regarding star billing and publicity. This contract is certainly one of the most important Gone With the Wind documents, significant also because it is signed by Selznick. Provenance: the collection of Tom Heyes. 8.5 x 11 in.
