People People planner “Gone With the Wind” Festival planned Frankly, my dear, people still give a damn. More than 70 years after its release, the 1939 MGM classic film “Gone With the Wind” is still a phenomenon. Known as “Windies,” the movie’s fans from St. Louis and around the country are invited to attend Gateway To The Wind, a festival commemorating the 70th anniversary of the St. Louis premiere of “Gone With The Wind.” The festival is coming to St. Louis November 5 through 7, 2010. Events will include special appearances by actors from the movie, panel discussions featuring Hollywood and antebellum-era experts covering GWTW and St. Louis Civil War history, book signings by GWTWgenre authors and an exhibition of artifacts and original costume items and props from the film. A screening of a new documentary about GWTW by St. Louisan Sally Tippett Rains titled “The Making of a Masterpiece,” a gala
charity costume ball and the “Fiddle-Dee-Dee Follies,” a musical salute to the film, round out the blockbuster program. All events will be open to the public and are scheduled at various venues in St. Louis. Advance registration is required for the events with activity packages ranging from $60 to $90 and individual events at $20. Go to www.GWTWbook.com for details on festival price packages, individual tickets and the registration forms. The Drury Inn & Suites St. Louis Forest Park, 2111 Sulphur Avenue (Hampton Avenue at I-44), serves as both the headquarters hotel and venue for many festival activities. A special festival rate is available for out-oftown attendees by mentioning “Gateway to the Wind” when making reservations at 1-866-899-8039 or on-line at www.druryhotels.com. Additional lodging is available at the Lodge at Grant’s Trail B&B, 4398 Hoffmeister Avenue. Go to www.lodgeatgrantstrail.com or call 314-638-3340 for reservations. The conference begins Friday, November 5 at the Ulysses
S. Grant National Historic Site, 7400 Grant Road (across from Grant’s Farm), with the program “The Antebellum Plantation: Perception vs. Reality.” Speakers will include historian Pamela Sanfilippo of the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, noted GWTW experts Kathleen Marcaccio and Abb Dickson who will discuss Rural Home, “Gone With The Wind” author Margaret Mitchell’s greatgrandparents’ plantation, (upon which much of “Gone With The Wind” is based), and how Mitchell came to write the famous novel. There also will be a Southern cooking demonstration and “Gone With the Wind” artwork on display. On Saturday, November 6, “Gone With the Wind” fans can attend a Market Place Bazaar from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Drury Inn & Suites St. Louis Forest Park. Several authors will be selling and autographing their books, and three actors who portrayed Beau Wilkes, son of Ashley and Melanie Wilkes, at various stages of his life in the movie -- Mickey Kuhn, Patrick Curtis and Greg Giese -will be present to sell and autograph their photos.
