Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" is a line from the 1939 film "Gone with the Wind" starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. The line is spoken by Rhett Butler (Gable), as his last words to Scarlett O'Hara (Leigh), in response to her tearful question: "Where shall I go? What shall I do?" Scarlett clings to the hope that she can win him back. This line is also partially spoken by Rhett Butler in Margaret Mitchell's novel "Gone with the Wind", published in 1936, from which the film is derived.
My Dear (British horse) Dewhurst Stakes over seven furlongs at Newmarket. The 1918 edition of the 1000 Guineas on 1 May attracted eight runners but the only serious contenders appeared to be My Dear and the Middle Park Stakes winner Benevente, who was slightly preferred in the betting. My Dear tracked her rival before going to the front at half way but was then overtaken by Lord Derby's Ferry a 50/1 outsider and finished second, beaten two lengths. Ferry and Benevente were again in opposition when My Dear started 3/1 favourite for the 140th running of the Oaks Stakes (officially the "New Oaks Stakes")
