"Reissiuing Gone With the Wind with and epilogue?"

Actually, the latest DVD version issued a year or two ago has bonus features, one of which discusses reaction of blacks to the film. It includes a film clip of an interview with Butterfly McQueen who played Prissy ("I don't know 'nothin 'bout birthin babies!"). She was very concerned at the time about the film depicting blacks as stereotypes.

However, here's what she said when she was older:

"Now I am happy I did 'Gone With the Wind.' I wasn't when I was 28, but it's part of black history."
