Conlon's most famous (and only) break as an actress came when she was cast as little Bonnie Blue in the classic 1939 film. The character appears only in a few scenes until she dies in a fall from her pony, irreparably scarring the marriage of her parents, Scarlett and Rhett.

Conlon then went on to voice the baby deer Faline in the Disney film Bambi, but quit movie-making for good thereafter because her mother wanted her to have a normal childhood.

Later in life, Conlon would write a book, "Bonnie Blue Butler: A Gone With The Wind Memoir" about her brief life in show business. With a career in public relations that lasted nearly 50 years, Conlon claimed the movie was all people wanted to know about.

"I've worked in public relations 45 years, been a wife and mom, and no matter what I did, my role in Gone With The Wind is what captures people's interest," she said in a past interview.

"In other words, I peaked at age five."
