A Sand Springs couple built a small 'Gone With The Wind' house replica and collect film memorabilia.

Red, you got what it's like.
Oh, watch what I do.
Frankly, my dear I don't give a damn.
This is Tara that I built.
I had pictures of Tara that was in the movie, and I tried to copy it as much as I could.
I made some of the costumes.
I made a little bit of the furniture that was inside.
If I tried to make this house looked like a movie.
Make it as fine a plantation as it ever was.
Oh, red, red, you are good to me.
My name is Lois Herman.
I live in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, and I have a collection of gone with the wind memorabilia.
Been collected for many years.
To me, gone with the wind is one of the things that I really love to do and look for.
I enjoyed every bit of it.
And when I find the, anything that's connected with Gone With the Wind, I just, get real excited about it, and I just seem like I need I really need to have it.
Gala days in Dixie, streamlined wings of the wind.
Bring Hollywood to Atlanta for a history making world premiere of the motion picture epic, Gone With the wind.
And gone with the wind writes history.
A new chapter in film triumphs.
In Council Idaho they had one little theater and I got to see the one it played.
And that theater I was lucky enough to see it, and I just fell in love with it.
So the next day I went down there to the theater and they gave me this poster, and that was the first thing, gone with the wind thing that I acquired.
I have Scarlett dolls.
Scarlett I did when I read dolls, and I conceded black hot involvement with Mammy.
It ain't fitting.
It just ain't fit.
These are my favorite dolls.
The reason I liked them so well is because they're different.
Each one is individually made and they're all one piece.
I think they look like Scarlett.
For her lovely dress cardigan in.
Wasn't able to come tonight.
Would you be an angel?
I do need you to help me.
How?
Darla?
Oh, yes.
Oh.
Counting on eating barbecue.
Will you do?
Will you ask all I want?
You all.
Honey, I never can make up my mind.
Which of you two.
I don't think I ever lost my interest from the time I started and started collecting.
And seemed like the more I collected, the more I wanted.
And I finally got all I wanted.
Most people who come in are surprised.
I mean, they know they're come just in Gone With the wind stuff, but they have no idea what.
I see an awful lot of expressions and Ah's and Oh's and that kind of stuff that goes on when they first come in.
We've had two ladies from Japan or China.
They didn't come to the United States to see this and think after they got here, that they did come over to look at their one, the first ones here after we moved it.
I think most people who see it are very impressed, not only with her collection, but with their techniques she uses in her paintings and all that.
People get as much bang out her paintings.
I think they do out of her collection.
This is a painting I did in 1988.
This is Scarlet and red.
This is Mary up here, and it's looking out wondering what Scarlett's doing.
She was screaming at her to come back.
Ms.
Scarlet Where are you going?
And I just y'all know not Africa, the setting.
And how come you didn't ask him?
Get him to stay for supper?
I look at a lot of pictures and kind of get ideas.
And then I start with something, and then I just keep adding whatever I think is necessary.
When I was a child, I always wanted, like, to draw pictures.
I could sit down and draw things.
Little kids.
Girl, I'm sure they weren't very fancy, but I like to do it anyway.
And then, of course, after school, I, I think I got a little better each time.
What?
By the time I got into high school, I was drawing portraits for different people.
I didn't really get into doing art until after I was grown.
I liked to create things, but I like to have an idea before I start.
Then after I figure out what I want to do and I can do it, I like to paint and I like to sculpt.
Chief Joseph was Indian Chief lived in Idaho.
That's where I was born and raised.
And so I'd heard about Chief Joseph all my life.
I am tired, my heart is sick and sad.
From where the sun from now stands, I will fight no more forever.
Chief Johnson, this is a quilt that I made by hand and it's all scenes.
My version of the scenes from Gone with the wind.
Here's Mammy with her full underclothes.
I don't believe it.
Let me see.
Pull up your good Mr.
Red.
You is vain, your Lord.
And this is the one that Scarlett was supposed to be in mourning after her first husband died.
She won't go anywhere.
I certainly want to go dancing.
Who's your partner for the Virginia real?
Here's where she wanted to be.
Real skinny.
And she.
What?
Had her nanny tighten up her squash so tight that she didn't have to breathe?
Try again.
Mammy.
20in.
20in.
I got this big than pity.
You simply got to make it 18.5 again.
Mammy.
Scarlett was my favorite.
She knew what she wanted.
And she didn't back out.
She didn't let anybody tell her what she could do, what she couldn't do.
I could tell her with the sit in which should I pay attention to them?
She just did what she wanted to do.
And I admire somebody that can do that.
So some people don't do anything.
But yeah, I have to ask permission.
My family and Fred has been very supportive.
I could never have done it without them, financially wise.
And this.
And then they were.
They were real good to me.
They always got me what I wanted.
If this building was on fire and I could only grab arm, all the stuff, I don't know where I began.
I really don't, I just grab the first things I come to, I guess, because to me, I don't think anything is more valuable than the other.
To me, I just want it all.
I couldn't guess times I've seen the whole thing all the way through.
Oh, my, I couldn't I couldn't begin to tell you, many, many, many times.
I won't say that for quite a while.
Several days.
You get your strength in this red hair that carries on it.
You're a part of it.
It's part of you.
Oh, I'd give anything to have Tara the way it was before the war.
Would you then go ahead and make it that way?
Spend whatever you want.
Make it as fine a plantation as it ever always read.
You are good.
