Scarlett's Curtain Dress Meets Carol Burnett (Silly Video Extraordinaire)

Susan reporting:

It IS the weekend, our time for silly history videos, and this has to be one of the silliest videos of all time. Originally broadcast in 1976 as part of The Carol Burnett Show, this lengthy (it's in two parts) spoof of Gone With the Wind is called Went With the Wind. Without requiring a Spoiler Alert, I will say that Scarlett's famous Curtain Dress plays an important role in Burnett's, ah, interpretation. And here's real proof that each version has achieved its place in American popular history: both have been immortalized as Barbie dolls.

Many thanks to Marilyn Watson for tracking down the Carol Burnett sketch on YouTube.
