Cammie King | Scarlett O'Hara's girl, 76

Cammie King, 76, who as a cherubic little girl played the daughter of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind, then enjoyed something of a fan following at film festivals, died Wednesday of cancer at her home in Fort Bragg, Calif.

Mrs. King Conlon, as she had been known since her marriage to Michael Conlon in 1971, was 4 when cast as Bonnie Blue Butler. Bonnie was the child of the manipulative Scarlett (Vivien Leigh) and the roguish Rhett (Clark Gable), who had a turbulent love affair in Atlanta during the Civil War. Appearing in just a few scenes, Bonnie died when she fell off her pony.

Her only other acting credit was as the voice of Faline, a young doe, in the 1942 Disney animated film Bambi. "I peaked in show business at age 5," she frequently said.

Still, with the enduring popularity of Gone With the Wind, she found a degree of celebrity at film festivals and celebrations for the movie. In 1989, she was in Atlanta for a 50th-anniversary celebration of the premiere.

Mrs. King Conlon worked for the Mendocino Coast Chamber of Commerce and started its film commission. Last year, she published Bonnie Blue Butler: A Gone With the Wind Memoir. She is survived by a son and daughter.
