Today In History...Gone With The Wind

May 3, 1937…Author Margaret Mitchell won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel, "Gone With The Wind."

I remember my mom saying that she fell in love with Clarke Gable when she saw the movie at its re-release in 1947.  She said she was sitting in the upper balcony of the Tift Theater when she watched it for the first time.

When I started reading the book, I never stopped until the last page.  I even wound up in my bedroom closet with a flashlight.  I still say that Scarlett was a fool!

  1. I have to say that by the end of that darn book I really felt like I deserved a happy ending. Not so much Scarlet, but me. I deserved it. What a let-down! :)
