In memory of the lady who inspires the imagination with her epic tale of of cavaliers and cotton fields...
*Margaret (Peggy) Mitchell died at the age of 49 on August 16, 1949 after being hit by a drunk driver. She was crossing Peachtree Street on her way to see a movie with her husband.
*Peggy had notes for a sequel to GWTW, but after it was released, she felt the story belonged to the readers and everyone imagined a different ending, so she ordered her heirs to burn all notes and the original manuscript, with the exception of a few numbered pages that were to be sealed and put in a vault in Atlanta.
*She was adamantly opposed to anyone writing a sequel to GWTW and charged her heirs with maintaining the copy right.
*Her family was certain that her obituary made no mention of her first husband, Berrien Kinnard Upshaw, or "Red" as the notorious rogue was better known.
*The last Mitchell heir, her nephew Joseph, bequeathed half of the GWTW estate to the Catholic Diocese.

DeleteMargaret Mitchell was a feature of a A to Z entry last year. Fascinating woman. Somebody did write a sequel. I've read it.
ReplyDeleteShe was fascinating. I never read the sequel- felt like I was cheating on Margaret to read it; like that would lose me my uber fan card. But I did read the plot outline on wikipedia, just out of curiosity.
