Hello everyone, I was looking for N&S DVDs on Ebay and figured I'd google it to see if there are any N&S sites out there. WOW! This is great. My favorite movies of all time are North and South and Top Gun, LOL. I live in Charleston and my grandmother visited the set often when they were filming and told me all about it when she would come home (how David Carradine was one of the nicest people she met and how Leslie Ann Down was nice too but smoked like a smokestack the second the cameras stopped rolling). The movie has fascinated me. I actually watched a copy of it recorded in the 80s when it originally ran on network TV with all the local commercials and all. I even think of N&S when I see those companies that had commercials there to this day, LOL. As a matter of fact, one of the commercials was the "BTL" commercial with Jason Alexander in it. I also had the pleasure about 10 years ago of assisting a college professor of mine (it was a broadcasting class) as we filmed the video of Boone Hall Plantation that was to be sold at their little gift desk in the main house. Since we were working for the old lady who owns the house and were filming for several days, we were able to hear about how her husband bought the place for her as a surprise (some surprise). Finally, I was riding near Beaufort about a month ago and saw a sign that said "church ruins" down a main road into Beaufort and I decided to ride by and see what that was, and it HAD to have been the ruins that Orry and Madeline met at to make out and where they were to meet to run off together in the movie. It looked EXACTLY like I was on the set. It almost seemed like they would come riding out of the woods on horses at any minute. Do any of you know where that scene was filmed? I am almost 100% certain that had to be the location, but I would love to hear for sure if that is the case. I am so glad I found this site. The internet is awesome.
