Mr Dow apparently died of a severe asthma attack he suffered while driving.

OMG! How scary and horrible. My DD has asthma and hearing things like that just sends shivers down my spine -- That asthma can get so out of control. How sad for his family.

Chaplin, Pat Neal's stoke started early at home. The baby/cab accident was not involved with her stroke.

Cammie King Conlon, aka Bonnie Blue Butler from 'Gone With the Wind' has died at the age of 76. As far as I can tell, the only major cast member from the movie who is still alive is Olivia de Havilland. Bonnie Blue

Oddly enough I never saw the movie but I loved the book. Interesting story about her and it was interesting for me to see how Bonnie was portrayed in the movie. I'll have to watch it sometime.

As I recall, Careen and SueEllen were Scarlet's sisters. Jimmer, it is worth seeing.. they used revive it every 10 years. One time we saw it with my parents in Angola, Indiana (or was it Coldwater, Michigan?) and 10 years later saw it with my mom in Santa Ana, CA.

I was fortunate enough to see it on the big screen for its 50th anniversary run. Having first seen it as a 5th grader on a TV (and bawling my eyes out from Bonnie's scene on), it was amazing to see it that big! I think I've read the book 4 or 5 times, and still love it.

Jimmer, be warned that the movie is a bit different from the book. From what I can recall Scarlett had several children in the book but only one (Bonnie Blue) in the movie. But it is well worth watching for the costumes, scenery, and the gorgeousness of Vivien Leigh and the hilarity of Aunt Pitty Pat. My favorite line of the movie is Aunt Pitty Pat's when she was told of the yankees bombing Atlanta and she asked "Yankees in Georgia? Who let them in?"

If my recollection is correct, Scarlett only had Bonnie in the book as well. Although I love to read, it takes a lot to get me emotional while reading. That scene with Bonnie did it though. What did she say before she jumped? "Watch me take this one!" Rhett loved her so much. Gosh - I'm upset writing this. I'm pathetic.

She had three children in the book, one from each husband.

My favorite in the movie is Mammy, who is always on to Scarlett's shenanigans and always shooting her dirty, disbelieving looks.

Here is a synopsis of the book's plot, though I think they credit Scarlett with murdering the Yankee who comes to Tara to loot, but I thought it was Melanie who actually dragged out of bed and shot him.. http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/gonewith/summary.html Scarlett had a son, Wade, with Charles Hamilton, her first husband (Melanie's brother), who she married to spite Ashley. And then she had a daughter, Lorena, with second husband, Frank, SueEllen's fiance, who she married to get the money to save Tara. And of course Bonnie, her daugher from Rhett, her third husband.
