GWTW Actress Dies at 76

The woman who played Bonnie Blue Butler, (Cammie King Conlan was four years old when in the movie) died at the age of 76. It's not a big news event to most people, but I loved 'Gone With the Wind' and when one of the actors or actresses dies, a piece of film history dies along with them. Poor little Bonnie didn't have much of a chance in that movie.
