While I
do love the movie Gone With the Wind, I can never think of it without the scene
from The Carol Burnett Show popping into my head.
As you
may remember, in the movie, Scarlett tore down the curtains at Tara Plantation to make a
dress for herself so Rhett wouldn’t see her in the rags she wore while trying
to keep body and soul together.
Carol Burnett did her own version of the same scene.
For me
as a writer, I love the surprise and laughs of writing a scene where we think drama
will dominate, but something happens to turn things around to make it humorous.
Life is
full of both dramatic and humorous moments. As a writer, I like my books to
reflect that, and to give my readers a break from the heavy subjects once in a
while.
Thanks,
Carol Burnett! Your depiction of Scarlet will forever remind me to lighten
things up once in a while!

Hysterical! One year a bunch of work buddies dressed up for an Academy Awards party, and one of the women did this. Classic. We all need humor!
Haha, YES, I love this skit. It was a classic for sure. It makes me laugh every time I think about it. Leaving the curtain rod in the dress was the BEST. LOL.
I agree. Great, great stuff.
I will NEVER forget this skit! It's one of the all-time classics.
Great, great skit, Laura. Thanks for reminding me! I'm smiling just thinking about it.
That skit is always the first thing to pop in my mind when someone mentions Gone With The Wind, Laura! I agree with you about sprinkling humor into a story. They are the kind I like to read and write.
I want to be Carol Burnett when I grow up!
