Paulette Goddard was originally under contract to David Selznick in the late 30s, but her services were also shared with Charlie Chaplin. She did two films with the legendary comic, and both are regarded as classics. When she failed to nab the part of Scarlett O’Hara in GONE WITH THE WIND, she headed over to Paramount, which proved to be a smart move. Starting in 1939, she had several comedy hits with Bob Hope, but she was skilled at dramatic parts and adventure stories, which made her a natural lead for several Cecil B. DeMille pictures. During the next ten years, she appeared in 21 Paramount productions and though not every one of those was a hit, there's no denying that Paulette Goddard was one of the studio’s important stars.
