Publisher's Synopsis
A Must-Have for Gone With the Wind Fans! From Margaret Mitchell's tattered manuscript to the film's seventy-fifth anniversary, this book is a behind-the-scenes chronicle of Gone With the Wind-the book, the movie, and the phenomenon that continues today. Related in loving detail are inside stories of the writing and publishing of the novel; the Hollywood frenzy of transforming the book into film, including casting headaches, on-set tensions, and jinxed scenes; the premiere; and the Academy Awards. This updated edition also contains the scoop on the publication of two GWTW sequels; the disastrous debut of the Scarlett television miniseries; the post-GWTW lives of cast members, such as the news of Gable's secret lovechild; the restoration of three original costumes in time for GWTW's seventy-fifth anniversary; and much, much more.
