Did you know the Nazis banned 'Gone with the Wind' in Germany?
'Margaret Mitchell: American Rebel' airs on GPB tonight
Tonight at 9 p.m., GPB airs "Margaret Mitchell: American Rebel," a profile of the debutante-turned-reporter-turned-novelist that penned the iconic Gone With the Wind. The program is full of lesser-known info such as the Nazi book ban, and includes interviews and commentary from Pearl Cleage and Pat Conroy, among others. The trailer's varying voiceovers refer to Mitchell as "very very volatile emotionally and psychologically," "very very sexy and a lot of fun" and "a little wihld." They also mention that "Clark Gable said that Margaret Mitchell was the most fascinating woman he'd ever met."
"Harper Lee: Hey, Boo" (featuring Oprah!) follows the Mitchell piece at 10 p.m.
