The film premiere of Gone With the Wind took place at the Loew's Grand Theater in Atlanta on December 15, 1939. Mayor William B. Hartsfield declared a citywide holiday, and a crowd of 18,000 gathered outside the theater to catch a glimpse of the film's stars. In attendance were lead actors Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, a portrait of whom is visible above the theater's entrance.
