Is the plantation used in Gone With the Wind in Charleston South Carolina?
I am a "friend of the family" that owns Boone Hall and I can say categorically it was NOT used in Gone with the Wind. Boone Hall does bear a remarkable resemblance to 12 Oaks, and that is because photographers were sent out to take pictures of various Plantations and Boone Hall was one of those photographed. The person who managed tours there at Boone Hall for many years had a book about GWTW that showed the matte photo used in the scene for the entry to 12 Oaks and you can see the similarity, but no live movie footage was taken at Boone Hall or used in GWTW.
There have been movies , TV shows, and commercials filmed at Boone Hall, most notable being "North and South" (Patrick Swayzee), "Queen" (the sequel to Roots) ( Jamine Guy, Halle Berry) and most recently "The Notebook"

I have investigated this play years ago, because i was told, that this play was about my Mother's Uncle, John j. (Jack) Cannon, a San Francisco Inspector.. I have his badge 666, a gold 7 pointed 14 carat gold San Francisco police badge, engraved from the two musketeers dated 2-11-31. Jack was known as the "Dasher", because of his wardrobe.
