Veteran film actress, Ann Rutherford died Monday in Beverly Hills at the age of 94. Ms. Rutherford had memorable roles in some of Hollywood’s most iconic films including Gone with the Wind (1939) playing Scarlett O’Hara’s younger sister, Pride and Prejudice (1940), Adventures of Don Juan (1948) as well as the earlier Andy Hardy movie series playing Polly Benedict, Mickey Rooney’s girlfriend. By the end of the 1940s, Ms. Rutherford retired from movie-making to raise a family. She came out of retirement in the 1970s to appear in a few more movies and was also known for her role in the TV series The Bob Newhart Show playing Suzanne Pleshette’s mother. Ms. Rutherford also turned down the role of Rose Calvert in James Cameron’s 1997 film Titanic which went to Gloria Stuart. Over the years, she also made various appearances at Gone with the Wind anniversary events. Ms. Rutherford’s death leaves just two other major players from Gone with the Wind still alive: Olivia De Havilland, 95 who played Melanie Wilkes, and Alicia Rhett, 97, who played Melanie’s sister, India.
