O'Hara"), Mickey Kuhn ("Beau Wilkes" at age 7), Patrick Curtis ("Baby Beau
Wilkes") and Greg Geise (infant "Bonnie Blue Butler" & infant "Beau Wilkes"),
along with Gina Miller who was an extra.

Bill Dunaway, the Mayor of Marietta (the town celebrates its 175th
anniversary) hosted the event with special guest Robert Osborne, Turner
Classic Movies' primetime host.

The event was topped off with the unveiling of a giant anniversary cake which
was a replica of Tara for everyone to share.

Blu-ray/DVD release of Gone with the Wind 70th Anniversary Ultimate
Collector's Edition and Turner Classic Movies' December 15 screening of the
film on the actual anniversary of the film's original premiere in Atlanta.
