The Dark Secrets Behind Gone with the Wind

The iconic novel Gone With the Wind was published in 1936. It was written by Margaret Mitchell, who was only 25 when she first came up with the idea. She worked hard on the novel for over ten years, and yet she kept it a secret from even her closest friends and family members! It wasn't until 1936 when she sent the manuscript to be looked over at a publishing company.

Having finished her final draft, Margaret Mitchell was ready to tell her friends and family about her work. However, one of her close friends expressed annoyance when she learned of Mitchell's dream of publishing. Mitchell became self-conscious, and she began to have second thoughts. She sent a telegram to the publishing company, requesting that they send the manuscript back. However, one editor had already glanced at the manuscript, and they knew the book was simply too good to send back.

From there, the book sold millions of copies, and it also won a Pulitzer Prize in 1937. Of course, perhaps the most memorable thing to come from the book is the film. Just three years after its publication, the book Gone With the Wind was adapted into a film of the same name.

Considering the technology that was available at the time, the movie was a masterpiece. The acting was phenomenal, and the sets and costumes were breathtaking. It won ten of its thirteen Academy Award nominations, along with many other notable awards. Even though the film first aired many decades ago, it has continued to influence popular culture today.
