Frankly, My Dear…Margaret and Scarlett

An avid reader and storyteller, Margaret Mitchell longed to write a great novel. She succeeded with “Gone with the Wind,” one of the most indelible American novels ever written. David O. Selznick’s film version became one of the most referenced, satirized, dramatized, and analyzed American movies. This session explores the interwoven lives of Margaret Mitchell and her unforgettable heroine, Scarlett O’Hara, along with the origins and lasting legacy of both the book and the movie.
