So if you ever wondered who was the inspiration behind some of Margaret Mitchell's characters (I know I did), or just happened to ask yourself "Hmm, what's the connection between Doc Holliday and Scarlett O'Hara?", now you have your answer.
This link is for all of you who find such tidbits interesting, but for one of our readers in particular. We also promise that lady that there will be more on this topic. Now go read the story here:
This is really interesting!!!! I love seeing how GWTW might or might not have been associated with the real world...it makes it feel like it could have really happened! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat link! More you say? As in the MM connection? You are a superb sleuth!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of kissing cousins, do you think Philippe Robillard and Ellen were first cousins?
Of course as in the MM connection. You put us on the right track ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for Ellen and Philippe, I have no idea. I don't quite remember, why was it that Ellen's family was so set against this marriage? Perhaps they feared the children will turn out "as popeyed as bullfrogs," in the words of the adorable Beatrice Tarleton? :P
I tend to think they were second cousins, though.
