section::::early life.









































james was born vivian leopold james in kogarah, a southern suburb of sydney. he was allowed to change his name as a child because "after vivien leigh played scarlett o'hara the name became irrevocably a girl's name no matter how you spelled it". he chose "clive", the name of tyrone power's character in the 1942 film "this above all."

another favorite was a contest between two callers-in to speak the roles of scarlett o'hara and rhett butler in the last lines of "gone with the wind", beginning with the line "i'm leaving you, my dear. all you need now is a divorce and your dreams of ashley can come true." caller-in kim played scarlett to spike's rhett, and then caller-in robert played rhett to spike's scarlett. (both contestants spoke with true southern accents.) spike ad-libbed many lines. for example, when kim as scarlett exclaimed, "rhett! rhett, where are you going?" spike as rhett replied, not the film's actual line, "i'm going back to charleston, back where i belong," but: "i'm going to rick's on federal way! where i belong." (rick's was a strip club.) when contestant robert played rhett and delivered the line, "here, take my handkerchief," spike as scarlett used the handkerchief in a noisy and unladylike way. listeners who called in got to vote on the better contestant, and kim won the prize, probably in part because of her tearful, yearning cries of "rhett! rhett!" (spike said in awe to her, "seriously, did you just lose a puppy or something?") the prize was fandango movie tickets.
