Around the world, the book has sold more than 30 million copies, making it one of the most popular pieces of literature of all time. It's been adapted into a play, a movie, and a musical and even those who haven't read it or seen the film are familiar with the characters.
However, in spite of its massive popularity, Gone with the Wind was the only novel that Margaret Mitchell, a fiery former reporter, ever wrote. It took her7 years to write it and almost an entire year just to sort through it and check the historical facts. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and later the movie won several Oscars at the Academy Awards for the 1939 film adaptation of it.
Now, Gone with the Wind is best known for its romantic images of the old south, as well as for the sensational antics of the lead female protagonist, Scarlett O'Hara. Even though it sometimes gets disapproval for its representation of race in the old south, a great amount of historical research went into the creation of it.
It is probable that several of the characters depicted in the book were based on real people in Margaret's life, such as her grandmother and first husband. It has also been suggested that President Theodore Roosevelt's mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, inspired the character of Scarlett.
A multitude of actresses wanted to be Scarlett, including Lucille Ball and Bette Davis. However, it's almost impossible to imagine anyone else in the role other than beautiful Vivian Leigh. According to the popular legend, the director knew that she was his Scarlett after seeing the burning of Atlanta causing a reflection in her eyes.
