Gone with the Wind x2
Margaret Mitchell was a beautiful, complex, feisty Southern belle who wrote one book that catapulted her to unbelievable wealth and fame. "Gone With the Wind" became the most popular novel in America, won a Pulitzer Prize and changed Mitchell's life forever. The filming of her iconic Southern romance was as fascinating as her amazing biography. The second part of the story includes the competition among 1,400 women who sought to play Scarlet, the challenge to "burn Atlanta" and the winning of 10 Academy Awards. The movie GWTW equaled the fame of the book and became the most popular motion picture of all time.
