You probably know this little bit of trivia. Gone With The Wind cleaned up at the Academy Awards. But not ONCE, was the name Margaret Mitchell mentioned during the ceremony...

“But not ONCE, was the name Margaret Mitchell mentioned during the ceremony...”

That omission was because, as we say in the South, “She ain’t from around here.”

In this context (the Academy Awards) “here” was Hollywood.

Margaret Mitchell was from some podunk place in Flyover Country.... Atlanta, Georgia.

What could she possibly know about the War of Northern Aggression... er, I mean the Civil War?

/S
