* In chapter five when Careen mentions Scarlett "caring" for Brent Tarleton, Scarlett knowing that Careen has a crush on him, tells her that he's just waiting for her to grow up. Even though she later forgets this and flirts with Brent at the barbecue, it's still sweet of her to say.

* While Scarlett may not be the sweetest older sister of all time, she still cares very much for her youngest sister Careen, especially since Careen is more willing to help her pick cotton to make ends meet. When Careen offers to take over Suellen's shift of picking cotton, Scarlett stands up for her, and even hopes that Careen will end up with Will Benteen, even though Careen chooses to instead go to a convent to become a nun- where she hopefully finds a sense of peace.

* Creator/HattieMcDaniel won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Mammy, making her the first ever African-American to win the award. Olivia de Havilland had been annoyed at being put into the Best Supporting Actress category as the studio didn't want her and Vivien Leigh competing against each other, but expressed her support when Hattie won the award.
* Creator/OliviaDeHavilland - who was the last surviving cast member until her death in 2020 - admitted to occasionally rewatching the film just to reconnect with her deceased co-stars.

** One of the major things that drives her to make more and more money after the war is to make sure Wade will be safe and provided for, that he will be able to attend a good school and that he will have a good inheritance. She completely forgets the social status angle but it's not because she doesn't love her boy, it's because it doesn't occur to her that such a thing would matter anymore.
