Today in History

On June 10, 1939, one of the most famous scenes in movie history was filmed: Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara parting in Gone with the Wind. Director Victor Fleming also shot the scene using the alternate line, “Frankly, my dear, I just don’t care,” in case the film censors objected to the word “damn.” The censors approved the movie but fined producer David O. Selznick $5,000 for including the curse.

Miscellanea

Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month is observed in June. Men are often less likely to seek help for mental health issues. This is often due to the stigma surrounding men needing help – society often sets expectations that men should be able to handle problems themselves. Approximately 6 million American men suffer from depression each year. Depression and other mental health problems can lead to serious consequences for men, including suicide. Men are four times more likely than women to commit suicide. The number of male suicides has increased each year since 2000. Mental Health resources include: National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org), Mental Health America (mhanational.org), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (samhsa.gov) and Thriveworks (thriveworks.com).
