80th Anniversary of "Gone With the Wind"-- Part 1: Ohh, That "Dixie"

Last year was the 80th anniversary of the epic movie "Gone With the Wind," whether you like it or not, I am going to take through some information from one of those 100-page coffee table magazine books that I find so interesting.

From the Hollywood Legends Collector's Edition "Gone With the Wind."

Three bona fide Civil War-related facts about the movie:

1.  During the motorcade from the airport at the Grand Opening of the movie in Atlanta, at one point, star Vivien Leigh (Scarlet O'Hara)  noticed the band was playing "Dixie" and was overheard gushing,  "They're playing the song from the picture!" -- not realizing it was the "song" of  the Confederacy during the war.
