Love. Is there anything more complicated? The answer is an emphatic no. In life, poetry, and fiction the subject has been explored ad nauseam, but perhaps there is no place it’s been more analyzed than film.
Leading ladies, in particular, are fascinating creatures when it comes to the ways of ardor. There are legends who need only one name: Garbo, Bacall, Marilyn, and Judy.

Whether it’s Andi in Pretty in Pink (a personal favorite,) Vivian in Pretty Woman, Celine in Before Sunrise, Buttercup in The Princess Bride, or the most famous of all, Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind, the sirens and (s)heroes of cinema romance are fierce, funny, and flawed in ways that are both fascinating and all too familiar.

The Scarlett pays tribute to the Golden Age of Hollywood and the romantic leading ladies of the silver screen. She’s red to symbolize love, passion, courage and action. She’s elegant, graceful, feisty and a little bit fancy. And while Rhett Butler may not give a damn for her, she’s dear to us. She’s a new love for everyone, but she reminds us of the most singular one: Scarlett.
