The world survived the sequel novel Scarlett and subsequent tv miniseries.
I know of no sequel to Gone With the Wind. I know there is spoof book and miniseries sequel called Scarlett, but that is it.
Spoof book? It was authorized by Margaret Mitchell’s estate.
I didn’t know it was authorized by her estate. Still, there is big difference between something authorized by her estate, and something authorized by her, and a much difference than something written by her(I do realize both were impossible). Not to mention the miniseries didn’t star the same actors(I do realize that would have been impossible).
Only spoof I know of is Carol Burnett’s Went With The Wind sketch.
I never saw or heard of it, but it doesn’t surprise me that she did such as sketch.
Sequels to books by long dead authors apparently is big business. I think there are more OZ, Dune and James Bond novels in print now than were ever penned by their creators. And scavenging unfinished unpublished work happens as well.
Went With The Wind is probably one of the funniest sketches the Carl Burnett show ever did. I would post a photo, but it would spoil the best gag.
