Does anyone besides me even know who she is?

I googled. She was "Gone With the Wind".

It's a rare occurence, Miss P. I do hope you've documented it.

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that. So now are Olivia de Havilland and Ann Rutherford the only surviving cast members?

Of course! One of her roles was playing Tom Ewell's wife in The Seven Year Itch. There was also some blond in that film who's name escapes me for the moment, lol.

I know it's not good to speak ill of the dead, but...

I had dinner with Evelyn once at a mutual friend's house. It was not a pleasant experience.

I recently watched THE MAKING OF A LEGEND for the umpteenth time and remarked to myself how most of the cast is gone save for Keyes, Rutherford, and de Havilland. I guess it's just the latter two now. It'll be a sad day for me when de Havilland leaves us.

I remember seeing her jogging about fifteen years ago.. I was impressed.

Cammie King is still alive... but she played Bonnie Blue Butler, so that isn't too surprising.

She was married for a time to John Huston, and there was something about a monkey. I think she also did the horizontal mambo with Mike Todd and Artie Shaw, though not at the same time.

She was married to Artie Shaw for almost 30 years.

Artie Shaw .... actually who wasn't ?

she'll always be remembered as one of the four lucky actors who were slapped by vivien leigh in GWTW :)

i got this autograph when i was a star-struck teen. it was thrilling to meet ANYONE who had been in GWTW! i don't remember what she was like. (but she had to have been nicer than lauren bacall.) i guess she especially liked playing girls named SUE.

"Scarlett's so hateful! Making us work in the fields! What do I care about Tara? I hate Tara!" (get ready for a slap ...)
