Gone With The Wind Belle Watling as Ona Munson Doll Franklin Heirloom NEW

Noted for her colorful personality and her flamboyant fiery red red hair, Belle Watling was portrayed by Ona Munson with great passion and appeal. Her kind and honest heart won the admiration of Captain Rhett Butler and the scrupulous Melanie Wilkes.

In a tender scene, Belle told Melanie that she was also a nurse, but that people didn't approve of her kind of nursing. She offered to share her good fortune with the hospital for the injured soldiers, however, the matrons running the hospital were unwilling to accept her tainted funds. It was through Melanie, the only one who would accept the money, that the compassionate and gentle character of Belle Watling surfaced.

The friendship between Belle and Rhett grew strong over the many years that they had been acquainted. Her comforting words offered advice to Rhett. She consoled him during the troubled times of his marriage and helped mend his broken heart. During his stay in jail, Belle was a true companion and visited him regularly. Belle could not help but fall in love with the handsome captain, but realized that he still adored Scarlett. In their last scene together, she sends Rhett back to his love. Despite her strong disposition, Belle's eyes were filled with tears as Rhett left.
