Actress. She played Bonnie Blue Butler, the daughter of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler, in the 1939 classic "Gone With the Wind". Born Eleanore Camarack King, she was raised in Los Angeles and was cast as Bonnie Blue for her resemblence to her on-screen parents. She later remembered developing a father figure attachment to Clark Gable. For her final scene, after Bonnie was killed in a fall from a pony, King had to wear a death mask as she could not keep her eyes from fluttering. (The actual fall was taken by a dwarf stunt double). Her only other film credit was to be the voice of Faline in Disney's 1942 "Bambi". King went on to earn a 1956 degree in communications from the University of Southern California, worked for a time on the CBS series "Climax!", and spent a number of years with the Mendocino County Chamber of Commerce. Married twice, she was known in private life as Mrs. King Conlon after 1971. In later years she was to appear frequently at autograph and movie nostalgia shows, and was to say of her brief film career: "I peaked in show business at age five". She died of lung cancer.
