And the Count Drops by One...

Eleanore Cammack 'Cammie' King Conlon died of lung cancer on Wednesday.  She was 76.  Perhaps you've not really heard of her, but chances are you've seen her or heard her voice; at least, the voice she spoke with in her youth.

She was better known as Cammie King and, in 1939, she was one of the actresses chosen to portray Bonnie Blue Butler, daughter of Scarlett and Rhett in the classic film Gone with the Wind.  She would also provide the young voice for Faline the doe in the Disney animated feature Bambi.

Though Cammie left acting while still a child, she remained proud of her role in Gone with the Wind, and she continued to appear at gatherings and retrospectives about the film as recently as last year.  She had also written and published a memoir of her childhood experiences at the time of Gone with the Wind.
