scripts
Susan Myrick (1893-1978) was an educator, journalist and technical advisor for the film Gone With the Wind. Early in her career, Myrick taught physical education classes and became the director of physical education at the Lanier High School for Girls in Macon, Georgia in 1923. In 1928, she began working full-time for the Macon Telegraph; she contributed to the newspaper for the next fifty years. In the same year, Myrick met author Margaret Mitchell at the Georgia Press Institute in Macon and the two became close friends. Mitchell, who later wrote the novel Gone With the Wind, asked Myrick to act as a technical advisor on the film. - Local Identifier:
