"Gone With the Wind" Actress Ann Rutherford Dies

Rutherford played Scarlett O'Hara's sister Carreen in the 1939 classic

Tuesday, Jun 12, 2012  |  Updated 9:03 AM CDT

Ann Rutherford, who played Scarlett O'Hara's sister Carreen in the 1939 movie classic "Gone With the Wind," has died. She was 94.

A close friend, Anne Jeffreys, tells the Los Angeles Times that Rutherford died Monday night at her home in Beverly Hills. She had heart problems and was in declining health.

Rutherford was playing Mickey Rooney's girlfriend Polly Benedict in MGM's Andy Hardy series when she got the role in "Gone With the Wind."

She told the Times that MGM head Louis B. Mayer was going to refuse her the part but Rutherford, who was a fan of the novel, burst into tears and he relented.

Rutherford continued to make Andy Hardy movies and later appeared in other films, including 1947's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," and on television before retiring in 1976.

It's another one of those movies where the cast passed away all too soon...

I think the actor who played Wilkes' son Beau is still alive.  Granted he was only about five at the time.

Maybe he and Olivia could do a sequel, "Return of Gone With the Wind: Beau's Fury" or something like that. ???

I was sad when she died. GWTW is my favorite movie ever. I like it so much, that in one of my stories I had the main character throw a GWTW birthday party for his wife--and he introduced her to Olivia.

I swear when Olivia is called home, I'll be devastated!  MJ-level devastated because she's my fave actress!
