A set of three US postage stamps featuring an image of Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh as Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara in the 1939 adaptation of Gone with the Wind.
The stamps are enclosed within a rectangular envelope marked as 'Express Mail: Overnight Service, From the Post Office', featuring the U.S. Mail insignia.
The Gone with the Wind image is printed on the 25 cent stamp. The stamps were part of a set of four produced in 1990 depicting films from Classical Hollywood, all of which received Academic Award nominations in 1940, including Stagecoach, Beau Geste and The Wizard of Oz.
The ongoing production and circulation of ephemera connected to Gone with the Wind speaks to the endurance of its cultural legacy and the enduring image of Vivien Leigh in particular as Scarlett.
