Gone with the Wind
There isn’t a more passionate group of fans than Gone With the Wind fans. Those of us who love the beauty of this movie, the characters, the actors/actresses, the music… well, everything about this larger than life movie… just can’t get enough of it.
A few of my favorite all-time movie characters are from this one movie: Prissy, Mammy, Scarlett, and (of course) Rhett Butler. I named a gorgeous German Shepherd Scarlett once and had a precious cat named Prissy who graced our home and lives for over 20 years.
The Gone With The Wind Sticky Notes Set Of 4 are a recent “online find” I’ve come across. I know there are a lot of other GWTW fanatics out there, so I thought I’d tell you about them!
Each sticky note pad measures 3′ wide and features a quote straight from the movie Gone With The Wind: ‘Don’t call me sugar.‘ ‘Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn.‘ ‘Fiddle-Dee-Dee.‘ ‘Sir you are no gentleman.‘
If only there were a Prissy one with, “I don’t know nothin’ bout birthin’ no babies!!!” Bless her.
Fred Crane passed away Thursday at the age of 90. Unless you’re a die-hard Gone With the Wind fan, you probably don’t recognize the name.
Fred portrayed one of the Tarleton twins and one of Scarlett’s beaux - Stuart Tarleton to be exact. The other twin was played by none other than George Reeves (the twin Scarlett is throwing eyes at) who went on to stardom playing Superman in the television series.
Apparently, Fred Crane was the last living male actor with a credited role in Gone With the Wind.
Fred (the twin on the right) actually had the distinction of saying the first line in GWTW.
Stuart: “What do we care if we were expelled from college, Scarlett? The war is going to start any day now, so we’d have left college anyhow.”
Scarlett: “Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk’s spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream.”
