Twin brothers Jamil and Jalal Paul, both United Airlines pilots, flew together for the first time, surprising their father with a special Father''s Day flight. Gerald, who had never flown with his sons before, described the day as "a blessing beyond imagination." This flight also held special memories from when the twins first flew with their dad at age four.

In his autobiography, Malcolm X has this to say regarding "Gone with the Wind" (1939): "When it played in Mason (Michigan), I was the only Negro in the theater, and when Butterfly McQueen went into her act, I felt like crawling under the rug."Very few of the principal cast members liked the characters they were portraying in the film. Clark Gable was induced into accepting his role through arrangements to divorce his current wife and marry Carole Lombard. Rand Brooks, who played Scarlett''s first husband Charles Hamilton, was actually a rough outdoorsman who objected to playing a wimpy character. McQueen disliked the negative stereotype of her character. Leslie Howard felt he was too old for the role of Ashley Wilkes and complained that his costumes made him look like "a fairy doorman" at a hotel.

While directing the scene where Prissy says, "Oh Miss Scarlett! I don''t know nuthin'' ''bout birthin'' babies," director George Cukor told Vivien Leigh to actually slap McQueen and to make it as realistic as possible, and directed McQueen to scream. After many takes McQueen broke down in tears, complaining that Leigh was hitting her too hard. In a later interview, McQueen said that she "bargained" with the others, stating that if Leigh hit her, she would NOT scream, but if Leigh''s hand only passed close to her face with the illusion of hitting her, she would scream as loudly as she could. McQueen also giggled and said that she thought "Prissy should have been slapped often, because she was horrid!" (IMDb)

Happy Birthday, Butterfly McQueen!
