They don't mention the fact that she was immobilized when she wrote the book. Apparently, she had an accident that caused her to stay bedridden for several months and her husband upset, with all the books she had delivered in their home to keep herself distracted, suggested that she took the pen instead. That's how she produced this massive book!

[@catdaddy3302]

My great grandmother grew up during Reconstruction. She lived in a house overlooking the Mississippi River. The hose was hit by a cannonball during the War. The family never repaired the damage. They wanted a reminder so their children would never forget. The house is still there in Friars Point, Mississippi. It’s on the National Register or Historic Places. We will never forget!

[@katrinkasanfranciscobayare7364]

Performance by Shannon Doherty was excellent in this wonderful movie. Now I feel like watching Gone With the Wind again.

Margaret's beloved grandmother was the sister to the lady who married into the Holliday family, which produced the cousin, Doc Holliday's 1st love, the Nun mentioned in the movie Tombstone. Martha Anne "Mattie" Holliday (Sister Mary Melanie) prototype for Melanie Hamilton.

i find in general that ALL women who usually achieve great things in the ARTs, have tumultuous lives and LOVE lives etc etc, they have these fantastic and crazy , tragic and stories behind them, THAT eventually sort themselves out and then they find love and happiness and things settle down. But all these women are wonderful-truly great. Their own life stories are remarkable.

[@HelenaVanCity]

I had no idea Gone With The Wind was that autobiographical! In fact, I knew nothing at all about Margaret Mitchell and her life. So, this was just as educational for me as it was enjoyable. Thank you very much for uploading this great film!

[@WVgirl1959]

Gone With the Wind was set in the 1800s but written in the 1920s-30s, and was fiction not autobiographical. Margaret wove the stories that her mother and aunts ( but they did not have a Mansion, slaves, or suffer the way that Scarlett did) told her about the old Southern mansions and the Civil War. Margaret then went on to research it and flesh out the characters. She did have a housekeeper friend that was black but she was in no way a slave. But that is what all good writers do. 😊

[@user-lt1dz4op6u]

​@WestVirginia1959 of course it was autobiographical. on a very deep level, every novel is an autobiography of the writer. if you had read books, you would have known...

Red Upshaw's return towards the end of this telefilm is pure artistic licence; however, he did call her after the publication of Gone With The Wind, saying, "After reading your book, I figure that you still love me...because Rhett Butler is so obviously modelled after me." If only things had worked out between them.

She keeps acting like she doesn't care about her reputation. Like when she did the dance in front of the junior league and right now in the scene where she's striping in the fountain in front of a crowd. This was in a Southern town in the 1920'S. Even today when a person's reputation is ruined they do end up shunned by the so called decent people in the town. It might be a little different in a big place like Atlanta. But I live in a small Southern town and I know of people that others don't even want in their yard because those people have ruined reputations. I think her grandmother or brother told her no decent boy would marry her. That is very true how it is even today. The so called decent families tend not to mix with families are not considered a good family. I'm not sure how a bootlegger like Red Upshaw manage to marry a girl from one of Atlanta's good families. I'm not even sure how he got into the Junior league where he met Margaret Mitchell.

@@heatherbowlan9822 In the '80s, Margaret Mitchell's estate sanctioned a direct sequel to *Gone with the Wind* to be written by Alexandra Ripley. It was titled simply *Scarlett* and was.published in 1991. It inspired a four-part TV movie in 1994; in fact, *Scarlett* aired a week after *A Burning Passion,* which was made to coincide with the release of the miniseries. Mitchell's estate also authorized Donald McCaig to write *Rhett Butler's People* (2007), which told the same events of *GWTW* from Rhett's perspective, and *Ruth's Journey* (2014), a prequel depicting Mammy's life story.

[@chrisallen7911]

As a Southerner, who adores Margaret Mitchell and Gone With the Wind, I was very disappointed in this movie and its smear campaign of the Southern Traditions we Used to hold so dear. Margaret was a tom boy in every way, but she Loved the Traditions of the South and wrote GWTW from actual real life stories of friends and family members. Scarlett of course was Margaret. If you want to hear a TRUE narrative of the Old South and how life really was before the War, I challenge you to read GWTW. And yes, there was a bond and love between the Blacks and Whites back then that was totally destroyed by the War and generations after.

[@MbartM96]

Oh give over, there can be no true bond between those enslaved by others, and no way to justify it. It was slavery. Disgusting doesn't begin to describe the practice. Yes, a handful of slave owners may have had close relationships with slaves, but that doesn't justify it. What you seem to yearn for was a time when everyone knew their place. There was nothing noble about it. Aesthetically, the Old South was beautiful, but it was not an admirable system of society, and thankfully it is Gone With the Wind!

[@TheLadyStoryteller]

Chris Allen I challenge you to pick up a slave narrative-ANY slave narrative. Read about the atrocities black people endured by individuals who experienced them first hand. It’s clear that Mitchell certainly did not. The old South needed to fall and fall hard.

[@davidb2206]

@@MbartM96 That view cannot be true, because all of Jefferson Davis' servants stayed with him, voluntarily, after the War. Ask them.

So another movie where black folks are subservient playing back to the "Lets Take America Back to the Dark Days". During this period the Klu Klux Klan was created. African Americans suffered greatly during this time I won't revel in folks "nostalgia" as to say that's how things were. However few folks will say that this was wrong!

[@MbartM96]

No you're right, but many of the people who will come here to watch this, won't hold our views. They think the Old South was this fairy land of frilly crinolines and happy slaves doing as they were told...

God Bless

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Uh, that's how it was back then; the movie is reflecting the period. Of course, black Americans would be (expected to be) subservient in the South during this time -- or else suffer the consequences (e.g., lynching). Do you think they should have added black characters in major roles and in positions of power so as to not offend your modern sensibilities, despite it not being realistic? I'm a POC and left-of-center, politically, and frankly I'm sick of the far-left (aka SJWs) trying to rewrite history and wanting to live in a fantasy land. Fact is, the majority of blacks in the Deep South during most of the 20th century, especially women, were domestics. And there was this little thing called segregation, so not seeing the upper-class characters mingling with blacks (except for the help) is spot-on.

[@carseye1219]

Have zero interest in people who perpetuate "the Lost Cause". Margaret Mitchell refused to sit in a college lecture hall because a young African-American woman was also there. Ms Mitchell screamed, red faced, (according to witnesses) about how "insulting" it was to elevate a black woman to equal status. I am glad "Gone With the Wind" is dying a slow death, with less interest in viewership each year.

[@Famouswithfrancis]

Jim Saari what doesn’t make sense to me is that if she felt like that why did she secretly fund the Morehouse College and build one of the first Black hospitals in Atlanta?? Perhaps the close relationship she had with her housekeeper Bessie changed all of that??

[@carseye1219]

@@Famouswithfrancis A lot of that was sort of trying for redemption later in life and, with those acts, maybe achieved some and deserved some credit. But I can't give her a pass because of the perpetual damage caused by that book/movie being so immense. Far too much social progress was lost. People came out of that movie thinking the Union was worse than Huns and maybe slavery wasn't so bad. Hattie McDaniel was forced to sit in the "colored" section at the Academy Awards. She should have told them what they can do with that statue.

[@Famouswithfrancis]

Jim Saari I hear you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 and it makes sense... She definitely could’ve used her power much strongly to help fight for black rights.. the same way she didn’t agree with war.. interesting how Hitler forbid Russians from reading it because he didn’t want people getting ideas in his head

[@carseye1219]

@Adam Smith Of course but the continued romanticization of the Lost Cause has had dramatic societal impact. The freed slaves achieved small but significant gains during Reconstruction that were wiped out by southern retrenchment of white dominance. The idealistic view of the Antebellum era in works such as hers aided that 100 years of "slavery by another name". But I am glad that the bloom is finally off of the GWTW rose and should be placed in historical context from now on.
