OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND SWEATER
1939
A wool sweater worn by Olivia de Havilland as she portrayed Melanie Hamilton Wilkes, the role that garnered her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. (Co-star Hattie McDaniel won instead.) Hand-knitted to look like a Civil War-era item, Melanie wears this sweater in two important scenes: first when she meets Ashley at the train station during his Christmas furlough and then when she accepts Belle Watling's money for the hospital as Scarlett and Mrs. Meade look on diapprovingly. The front trim of this sweater may have been slightly altered as it appears somewhat thinner now (it could have been used in another film as was common back then), but overall it is still in excellent condition with the exception of its missing wardrobe labels.
