Sue Myrick was the fifth of eight children who managed her family's plantation while attending college and beginning her teaching career. Sue received awards throughout her life for superior accomplishments. However, in spite of all of her achievements she is probably remembered best for her connection with the world's most beloved movie Gone With the Wind.  Ms. Myrick, a close friend of Gone With the Wind author Margaret Mitchell, was coerced by Mitchell to act as dialect coach and authority of all things southern on the set during filming of David O.
