"Frankly, my dear, I'm a bit annoyed by your racism."Clark Gable almost walked off the set of Gone With the Wind because of racism, reveals an upcoming book. Author Michael Sragow writes about how a group of black extras, who were upset at studio bathrooms with "White" and "Colored" signs, approached Gable. "He got on the phone to [director Victor] Fleming, who called the prop master and told him, 'If you don't get those signs down, you won't get your Rhett Butler'. The signs came down immediately," Sragow wrote.
