What happened to the outtakes/alternate scenes from Gone With The Wind?

Question

I suspect they were considered of no value and subsequently destroyed but I wonder if anyone knows for sure?

Answer 1

They may be in someones vault somewhere or they were destroyed. The special editions usually include making of segments(which are really interesting)about how the film came into being and there are interviews with some of the surviving cast(Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable died in the early 60"s and,if I' not mistaken,Olivia de Havilland,who played Melanie,is the only surviving cast member with the exception of the actress who played Scarlett's youngest sister,Ann Rutherford.
