Ellen Robillard O'Hara (Barbara O'Neil)
Filmography
The mother of Scarlett, she had been the daughter of Pierre Robillard of
Savannah. When she was just a teenager, she had fallen deeply in love with her cousin,
Phillippe Robillard, a dashing bad-boy. When Phillippe was killed in a barroom brawl, she
blamed her family for driving him away and decided to marry the much older Gerald
O'Hara to get away from Savannah. He had no idea why such a beautiful young girl
agreed to marry a loud-voiced, red-faced little man like himself, but he never knew. He
only knew that a miracle had happened and he was very humbled. She took
Mammy
and twenty house slaves and went to Tara
with Gerald.
