LIST OF SURVIVING SILENT FILM ACTORS - We also remember Alicia Rhett (India Wilkes from Gone with the Wind)

 

ALICIA RHETT, THE OLDEST SURVIVING CAST MEMBER OF GONE WITH THE WIND, DIES AGED 98
As Hollywood mourns the death of Alicia Rhett, we remember the veteran legends of the silent era to the Golden Era who are still with us,

Alicia Rhett (February 1, 1915 – January 3, 2014) was an American portrait painter and actress who is best remembered for her role as India Wilkes in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind.

At the time of her death, Rhett was the oldest surviving credited cast member of the movie, the only others being Olivia de Havilland (born July 1, 1916), who played India's sister-in-law Melanie Wilkes, Mary Anderson (born April 3, 1920), who played Maybelle Merriweather, and Mickey Kuhn (born September 21, 1932) who played Beau Wilkes.

On January 3, 2014, Rhett died in Charleston, South Carolina, aged 98.[2] In her obituaries, Rhett was inaccurately cited by news media as "the oldest living actor from Gone With the Wind", however that distinction goes to actor Shep Houghton (born 1914), who had a small but uncredited role in the film. Rhett was, more precisely, the oldest living credited actor from Gone With the Wind at the time of her death.
