AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Legions of Gone With the Wind fans have together donated tens of thousands of dollars to prove they, frankly, do give a you-know-what.

The University of Texas Harry Ransom Center says it has met its $30,000 fundraising goal to pay for restoring five of Scarlett O'Hara's gowns from the multiple Oscar-winning Civil War drama.

Ransom Center officials an more than 600 people in 44 states and 13 countries.

The gowns worn by actress Vivien Leigh in the 1939 film include a green curtain dress.

The Ransom Center is planning an exhibit to mark the movie's 75th anniversary in 2014. Once restored, the dresses may be loaned to other museums.
