From a newspaper article: "Kay Brown Barrett, who bought 'Gone With the Wind'
for the movie producer David O. Selznick after discovering the novel as his New
York representative, died yesterday at the Meadows Lakes retirement community in
Hightstown, NJ, where she had lived for the last 14 years. She was 93.
"The cause was a stroke, said her daughter Laurinda Barrett.
"In 1986, on the 50th anniversity of the sale of Margaret Mitchell's novel to
the movies, Mrs. Barrett recalled that when she told Mr. Selznick she thought
the book was 'absolutely wonderful,' he replied, 'A Civil War story won't go.'
"But when Mr. Selznick's financial backer, John Hay (Jock) Whitney agreed to
buy the rights even if Mr. Selznick was not interested in the property, Mr.
Selznick changed his attitude. And, Mrs. Barrett noted, 'when he did buy it, he
made a wonderful, wonderful picture.'
"Securing 'Gone With the Wind' was far from Mrs. Barrett's sole triumph. In
a long career as representative, talent scout and powerful agent with Leland
Hayward, MCA and ICM, she brought other novels, like Edna Ferber's 'Cimarron'
and Daphne du Maurier's 'Rebecca,' to the attention of her employers. She also
persuaded Ingrid Bergman to leave Stockholm for Hollywood; signed Laurence
Olivier to his first American contract, and coaxed Alfred Hitchcock into signing
with the Selznick studio.
"She represented Alec Guinness, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Rex Harrison,
Fredric March, Patricia Neal and Montgomery Clift. Her clients also included
Lillian Hellman, Isak Dinesen and, for 40 years, Arthur Miller. Mrs. Barrett
retired when she was 80.
"A daughter of Kate Ross and Henry Collins Brown, a founder of the Museum of
the City of New York, Kay Brown was born in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. In 1924,
she graduated from Wellesley College, where she majored in English and was
active in the dramatic society.
"Her first job after graduation was as a girl Friday in the Mary Arden
Theater School in Peterborough, NH. When Joseph P. Kennedy and the school's
other owners, the Guy Curriers of Boston, bought a motion-picture company, they
offered her a job and put her to work reading stories to find properties. The
company, called the File Booking Offices, was renamed RKO. Her first major find
for the company was 'Cimarron,' which brought the studio an Academy Award in
1931.
"Mrs. Barrett's husband, James Barrett, died in 1967.
"In addition to her daughter Laurinda, of Manhattan, she is survived by
another daughter, Kate Barrett of Greensboro, NC."
Arthur Miller, the playwright, wrote of Kay Brown to Bridget Aschenberg:
.
Kay was my friend for some forty years, from 1947 until she retired. I had
spent two years writing "All My Sons" and brought it to Leland Hayward who
promptly left for California, or downtown. After a week or so I went to the
office asking for all my manuscripts as I was leaving the agency. There was a
fluttering of wings and some hurrying up and down the corridor and presently
this woman came in and asked politely if I would mind not leaving the agency
until she had a chance to read the play, which she had unfortunately not seen or
heard of.
She wore amber-framed glasses and had light colored hair and seemed such a
fresh and proper and ladylike person that I at first thought she had wandered in
from some legitimate kind of business or institution. There was a frankness in
her gaze which I found reassuring enough to allow me to abort at least for a day
or two my plan to quit tbe agency. There was also a certain iron in her manner
which I found irresistible. In other words, she kind of scared me into wanting
her to like me.
I returned to a cottage on Long Island where my wife and I were packing up to
return to the city with our small daughter who, after we had come halfway home
began screaming that we had not packed her favorite doll. As we entered Brooklyn
she was still screaming and my left rear tire blew and I had no spare, but--such
was the change of my luck--there was a tire store fifty feet down the street.
While the man was mounting this tire for which I paid him fourteen dollars in
cash, I was allowed to use his phone to call this Kay Brown woman from whose
hands I was sure I would have to remove my play and continue my plan to leave
the agency. To my surprise, she answered her own phone and said, "This play is
wonderful, I think we can find a producer very quickly. I have two ideas and I
see no reason not to send it to both at the same time." Within the week she
indeed had dredged up the Theatre Guild and Kazan and Clurman and Walter Fried,
a new partnership in the producing business. Miss Brown asked if I had a
preference and I said maybe Kazan and Clurman who had been so important in the
recently moribund Group Theatre. She agreed, but who--Kazan or Clurman--would I
prefer to direct? I had no idea and she said, "I think Kazan. You'd get along,
he's more of a rascal off the street."
So it was that we started, and there were great rollicking times and
terrifying dark times in the next four decades. I great1y marvelled at
conferences when five or seven lawyers were sitting around trying to decide
something and Kay would come in and sit down and all these men would shut up
and wait for her to tell them what they had to do. Then she told them and they
did it. My wife Inge Morath thinks she was an Anglo Saxon reincarnation of
Frederick the Great. Kay was a presence; she was wilfull and straightforward and
she was canny and sublimely diplomatic when that was called for. The main thing
when you came down to it was that she cared so much and she was there. What an
excellent woman Kay Brown was! How fortunate we were who knew her and her
laughter and her commands.
