#Sidney Howard

WPA Poster for “A relatively short running but important play which featured Katharine Cornell and Luther Adler in the original Broadway run. Howard died in a farm accident in 1939. He was awarded a posthumous Academy Award for his screenplay for *Gone With the Wind* (making him the first writer to win both a screenplay Oscar and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama).”

The title quotes a stanza of the poem Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats:

“Perhaps the self-same song

that found a path

Through the sad heart of

Ruth when, sick for home,

She stood in tears amid the

alien corn.”

Some Scripts of Sidney Howard

He won an Oscar for that script. It was received posthumously, as Howard had died in a tractor accident on his farm prior to the event. Gone with the Wind, indeed! He also adapted two Sinclair Lewis novels…

I hate you.

I hate you so much.

At least that’s what I try to tell myself to get over you. I try to find faults, there’s none. Not significant ones anyways.
