Cammie King Conlon, 76, the actress who portrayed the doomed daughter of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone With the Wind,” died of lung cancer Wednesday at her home in Fort Bragg, Calif.
Conlon was picked to play the small but pivotal role of Bonnie Blue Butler in the 1939 film at age 4. Her character’s death in a fall from a pony irrevocably damages Rhett and Scarlett’s tumultuous marriage.
Conlon also voiced the young doe Faline in “Bambi” three years later. It would be her final film role.
Alain Corneau, 67, the French filmmaker who leapt to international notice with the 1991 hit “Tous les Matins du Monde,” a period drama about 17th-century musicians, has died in Paris of cancer, his talent agency said.
Throughout a career lasting more than 35 years, Corneau directed many legends of French cinema, including Catherine Deneuve.
