If you could jump into any role in a classic black & white movie, what would it be?

Some of my favorites: Cathy or Isabella in "Wuthering Heights"; Katherine Hepburn's role in "Bringing up Baby;" Vivien Leigh or Olivia DeHavilland in "Gone with the Wind;" Barbara Stanwyck in "Ball of Fire" with Gary Cooper; any of the leads in "How to Marry a Millionaire".. so many great classy roles back then. Plus great clothes in the 30s and 40s. Thanks for participating!

    I can't decide! I love how beautifully the women dressed in the 30s and 40s....maybe a movie with Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, or Tony Curtis.....or any of the Audrey Hepburn films I love, like Sabrina or Funny Face

    I'd wanna be Scarlett O'Hara. I loved her dresses. Even the one she had "made" out of the curtains. It was beautiful!
