The ending of the 1939 film Gone with the Wind is one of the most iconic in movie history. Just read the words, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," and you can't help but picture Clark Gable's character Rhett Butler uttering them. And you can probably also picture what comes next: the final scene of the film, with Vivien Leigh's character Scarlett O'Hara saying, "After all, tomorrow is another day!"

But it almost didn't play out that way. A recently found script reveals an alternate ending for the film, with Scarlett's last line axed and replaced with: "Rhett!... Rhett!... You'll come back. You'll come back... I know you will!" It's a small change, but one that could have drastically changed how viewers perceived the strong-willed Scarlett.

The script is expected to fetch up to $5,000 at auction. See more pages from the script, plus place a bid, at Heritage Auctions.
