Sticking to Susan Hayward "moments," Kerry, here are a couple more:
As rae (all small letters, very chic) in "Back Street," while she and Paul Saxon (John Gavin) are in the hotel elevator, sizing each other up yet trying to look uninterested.
Susan and Robert Mitchum in "The Lusty Men." She's changing her clothes to go after her husband (Arthur Kennedy) who left their trailer to go to a party she disaproves of. Mitchum tells her she's small with her shoes off, and she retorts that he's small with his on!

In 'The Conqueror'- when John has taken Susan riding and they return to see his camp in flames and Tartars everywhere. Susan with a smirk says to John " Your tents burn well Mongol".
====================================
The scene in 'Valley of the Dolls' when Patty Duke has flushed her wig in the ladies room and the attendant offers her a back exit from the room and Susan drapes the scarf around her hair and regally sweeps past saying " I'll go out the way I came in'
The first movie is "House of Strangers," when Susan first meets Richard Conte.
The second is Susan complaining to Robert Mitchum about her husband, Arthur Kennedy, in "The Lusty Men."
The last is "My Foolish Heart," as Susan insists to her friend that she'll never tell Dana Andrews, who has gone back to war, that she's having his baby.
I'm embarrassed to say I can't think of the others right now. Shame on me!
TWO...always come to mind, for me...
BACK STREET...Susan says to Paul.."You know,the funny thing about life, is all the old cleshaies (wrong spelling) are true. You can't break the rules..You can't live your own life..You can't ignore the world."
and..THE LUSTY MEN...
Susan says..."MEN..I'd like to fry them all in deep fat!"
(loved that line, as she is looking into a frying pan)
Guess I didn't read the part where we are suppose to 'guess' which lines these are from...so let me see what I can remember...by numbers....
1. HOUSE OF STRANGERS
2. THE LUSTY MEN
3. WHERE LOVE HAS GONE
4. UNTAMED
5. WOMAN OBSESSED
6. (this one...really has me stumped..in 50's>)Could it be her talking to RAY DANTON..in I'LL CRY TOMORROW..?
7. MY FOOLISH HEART

Help! I can't access the YouTube you refer to-what
is it? Your mother's GWTW test is funny but what an
amazing Scarlett she would have made if she had done
that role several years later;as determined and re-
silent a person in real life as that character on the
screen. Although she lost her "regional accent," did
she ever revert to it in her everyday life or always
use her 'acquired' pronunciation?
I loved the "rae" with the little letters thing. I first saw that movie when I was thirteen and I thought "rae" with little letters was so "chic" that I started spelling my name with a little "g"... still do...
