Scarlett O'Hara's looks


Has anyone ever thought that Margaret Mitchell's physical description of Scarlett was based upon herself?

She has eyes that slant upward to the outer corners, dark hair, a small delicate chin, a bit of a squared jaw.

I have thought about that occasionally, has anyone else?

Margaret Mitchell is not beautiful per se but certainly attractive where I would think an abundance of charm would certainly capture many admirers.
