Cinematic Celebration
This month marks the anniversary of “Gone
With the Wind,” considered by many to be the
greatest film of all time. Based on Margaret
Mitchell’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about
love in the Old South during the Civil War era,
the motion picture is among the most popular
and widely known films. Here, however, are
some facts that might surprise you.
Selecting Scarlett. More than 1,400 actresses
interviewed for the role of heroine Scarlett
O’Hara. Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn and
Bette Davis were among the most famous ones
considered before Vivien Leigh was cast.
Breaking barriers. Hattie McDaniel’s portrayal
of lovable, yet no-nonsense servant Mammy not
only captured the hearts of viewers, but earned
McDaniel an Academy Award for Best
Supporting Actress. She was the first
African-American to win an Oscar.
Famous facade. Tara, the fictional plantation
of the O’Hara family, is still one of the most
requested tourist attractions in Atlanta. Visitors
are disappointed to learn that the stately home
doesn’t exist and was only a stage set built on a
Hollywood studio lot.
Hot Cocoa and Health
A cup or two of cocoa each day may do more than
ward off a chill. Cocoa is rich in antioxidants,
potassium, iron and other nutrients. Hot chocolate is
also chock-full of flavonoids, powerful compounds that
are being studied for their link to fighting cancer,
preventing stroke and delaying dementia and other
cognitive problems. Plus, sipping this sweet treat can
make you feel better—not only because the drink is
delicious, but also because it raises the body’s levels of
serotonin, which produces endorphins and can banish
a bad mood.
A Classic Talent
Dec. 13 is the birthday of Dick Van Dyke, the actor
known for movie classics such as “Mary Poppins” and
“Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and the TV series “The Dick
Van Dyke Show” and “Diagnosis: Murder.” Van Dyke
was born in West Plains, Mo., in 1925.
Practice Playfulness
“It is a happy talent to know how to play.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sweet Clementines
They’re small and
sweet, but clementines are
big on nutrition. A cross
between a sweet orange
and a mandarin, this
easy-to-peel variety of
citrus fruit is a good source
of vitamin C, as well as
fiber, calcium and other
essential nutrients, for just
35 calories. Clementines
are in season from late
November through
January, making them a
popular holiday treat.
Popcorn Pick:
‘Citizen Kane’
Often hailed as one of
the greatest films ever
made, “Citizen Kane”
was shot using many
techniques in storytelling,
cinematography and
sound that were
revolutionary for its time.
The 1941 drama was
co-written, produced and
directed by its star, Orson
Welles—in his screen
debut at just age 25.
The film traces the
rags-to-riches story of
newspaper tycoon Charles
Foster Kane, a character
that was loosely based on
real-life American
publishing magnate
William Randolph Hearst.
The movie earned nine
Oscar nominations and
won the award for
best screenplay.
