Gone with the Wind

He was originally supposed to say "Frankly, my dear, I don't care," to satisfy the censors. But producer David O. Selznick persuaded the Hays Office, and paid a token fine, and Gable was allowed to say the immortal "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Tara was the name of the O'Hara plantation in Gone With The Wind. It is the most important thing to Scarlett, and is what partly drives her to make more money. Twelve Oaks is the Wilkes' plantation, and where the barbecue int the becoming of the book is held, and is burned to the ground during Sherman's March. Mimosa is the Fontaine plantation which faired the best after the Yankees went through the County again because Sally Fontaine saw them coming. Pine Bloom was the name of the Calgary plantation where Cathleen and her Yankee husband lived before he lost it. There are several more plantations whose names are mentioned in the book. Like the Carleton plantation, which was the largest horse ranch in the state before the war, and the Mallory place, where Scarlett and the others fleeing the Atlanta awake to find it burned to the ground.

It was Olivia de Havilland, who was nominated as Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Scarlett O'Hara's friendly rival for the affections of Ashley Wilkes. The Oscar went to her co-star, Hattie McDaniel, who played Mammy.

The Southern way of life prior to "The Recent Unpleasantness"

There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South... Here in this pretty world Gallantry took its last bow... Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization gone with the wind...

I find it amazing that anyone with decency would have fond memories of a time when almost half of the humans in a society were enslaved.

The portrait of Scarlett in the Blue Gown that Rhett had hanging in his room (and threw liquor on) hangs in the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum in Atlanta.

Twelve Oaks is the name of the plantation where Ashley Wilkes lives. Ashley is the man that Scarlet O'Hara thinks she is in love with.

The plantation near Twelve Oaks is Tara.

Before the war: scenes involving Tara and 12 Oaks were located in Clayton County. During and after the war, Atlanta is the main setting.

Victor Fleming directed Gone With the Wind for which he won the 1940 Best Director Academy Award. Two others worked on the movie George Cukor and Sam Wood who briefly replaced Victor Fleming , but the bulk of the film was done by Victor Fleming.

Feminism is in Gone With The Wind in the way that women are portrayed during this time period. During this time women were known as being dainty, shouldn't bother with matters of government, were supposed to be the perfect hostess, and to run the plantation as well as the house slaves and children. Throughout the novel you see the heroine, Scarlett, start to sort of overcome some of the views of feminism and mold into a more independent woman.

The O'Hara plantation was called Tara. It was called Tara because Scarlett's father in the film was Irish and in Ireland there is a place called Tara where there is an ancient monument, because the warriors of old Ireland in those days used to gather there in a large building to feast and drink. Also in Ireland Tara is a girl's name.

Began at O'Hara plantation Tara in Jonesboro, moved to Atlanta when war was declared, where she lived until Pitty Pat had to evacuate to Macon, GA, because the Yankees were almost upon Atlanta.

Scarlett returned to Tara as the Southern soldiers were making a last stand at a road that would lead her to Tara. Rhett left her there with a horse almost dead, an olc carriage, and Melanie with new baby, who had only a few hours before had her baby Beau, the the maid, Prissy.

Scarlett's father Gerald O'Hara told her years ago that she was Irish, and she was as yet young, but, being Irish, the love of the land would come to her, for that is all that lasts, land. And eventually, that prediction became true in Scarlett's life. At many times of crisis in her life, she managed to return to Tara, from where she got her strength and calmness to evaluate her circumstances and prepare to fight whatever fight she had to do.

It is, once ticket sales are adjusted for inflation.

Depending on the condition and if it has a intact dust jacket, a TRUE first edition that states 'May 1936' and NO other dates can be worth up to $2,000 or more. A June 1936 can go for $25 up to $500 for a mint condition book in original non-price clipped dust jacket. Other editions are worth very little.

People who have large lots of highly sought after collectibles should consider seeking the services of professional auction houses. They will know how best to market the lot, and will know which specific collectors they should invite to the auction.

He is obviously older than Scarlett and Melanie who are 16 and 17 respectively at the beginning of the story which from what I can tell begins onf April 15th, 1861. His sister India is 20 at the beginning and Ashley has already spent three years on his Grand tour in Europe, and he has already been home for 2 years. Most likely he had spent 4 years at a university, which he most likely started at, at the age of 16. So that would probably put him at 24 or 25 at the beginning. I just went back through the novel to see if there were any other indicators of Ashley's age and I could find none. But I fairly certain that the age of 24 or 25 is a safe guess. TO be fair at the beinning he was in his mid twenties. By the end of the novel, which by my research end somewhere in the latter hald of 1873, he would have been about 37 or 38. His birthday coincides with the Barbeque at Twelve Oaks right before they hear that they are going to war on April 16th.

Accounting for inflation, "Gone With The Wind" has made $1,450,680,415. No film has made more when inflation is accounted for.

Her daughter, Bonnie, who she had with Rhett Butler? Bonnie falls off her pony and is killed, just like her grandfather.

Remember there's the scene where Bonnie's riding the pony, and Rhett and Scarlett are watching, and Scarlett remarks that she is a natural rider, "just like Pa." And then she gets this look of horror and goes, "Just like Pa..." and then Bonnie falls off the pony and dies.

An original can sell for between $1,500-$9000 depending on condition; however, a signed first edition can be worth up to $18,000.
