Frankly My Dear, Here Are Some ‘Gone with the Wind’ Facts You Should Know About

19. Margaret Mitchell and Vivien Leigh both died young

Ten years after she was the toast of the town for writing the wildly successful book-turned-film Gone with the Wind, author Margaret Mitchell was struck and killed by a passing car. She was 48 years old at the time, and had never written another book. Vivien Leigh had what would now be diagnosed as bipolar disease, plus she suffered from recurring bouts of tuberculosis. She collapsed and died when she was just 53 years old.
