MUMBAI: Cammie King, the 76-year old actress who shot to fame at the age of 4, playing Rhett Butler‘s daughter, Bonnie Blue Butler in Gone With the Wind has expired. The actress died of lung cancer.
King made her debut with the superhit film in 1939, playing the on-screen daughter of Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable. Though her only other acting credit was as the voice of Faline, a young doe, in the 1942 Disney animated film Bambi, her debut film‘s enduring popularity made her a celebrity.
In 1989 she was one of the 10 surviving cast members who went to Atlanta for a week long 50th-anniversary celebration of the premiere.
The actress was born as Eleanore Cammack King in Los Angeles on Aug 5, 1934.
Besides her son, Matt, she is survived by a daughter, Katie Byrne, and three grandchildren. Her first husband, Ned Pollack, died in 1965. Her second marriage to Jack Conlon ended in divorce in 1976.
