Gone With the Wind Never Really Went Away

Tuesday June 30, 2009
Here's an anniversary: Today, June 30, marks the 73rd anniversary of the publishing of Gone With the Wind, one of the most successful novels of all time. Came out in 1936.

Which of course, spawned one of the most successful films of all time. 1939's Gone With the Wind held its box office record for years (maybe still does, if you adjust the dollars for inflation), and wininng ten Academy Awards, the record at the time. (Bested by Ben Hur in 1959 with eleven Oscars).

Well, fiddle-dee-dee!
