Scarlett O'Hara said "Tomorrow is another day." Before her death on
January 3rd, Alicia Rhett had more tomorrows than any other actor in a
named role in "Gone With the Wind."
Rhett was discovered by
George Cukor, who spotted her in a stage production of "The Recruiting
Officer." In her only film role, she played India Wilkes (the sister of
Ashley Wilkes). She determined
that
there were no more promising roles for her in Hollywood and returned to
her longtime home of Charleston, SC, where she became an accent coach
and radio announcer and turned her hobbies of sketch artistry
and
portrait painting into a vocation. A distinguished illustrator and
painter, Rhett was a noted contributor to Carolina Art Association
publications.
Alicia Rhett was 98 when she died. Worm Farmer gets 7 points (2 for the hit + 5 for the solo).
