Living Cast Members that were in "Gone with the Wind" - as of March 2022 - UPDATED
by BWRocks | created - 18 Apr 2016 | updated - 22 Mar 2022 | PublicThis list includes all of the cast members from “Gone with the Wind” that are alive, as of March 21, 2022. Mickey Kuhn is the only living actor that was credited in the classic (everyone else living is uncredited).
With the passing of Ms. Olivia de Havilland at the age of 104 on July 26, 2020 sadly there is no one living that had a main part in the film.
Over the years I have been in touch with many of the people on this list and I wish to sincerely thank them for their involvement in what is the greatest moving picture ever made.
I used my “Gone with the Wind” Blu-ray sets, as well as various books on the classic to compile this list. I have also been in touch with some film preservation organizations for reference and assistance in putting this list together.
Not all of the information for the people on this list is correct on IMDb so please be sure to read the notes that I have included which have been updated as of March 21, 2022.
1. Mickey Kuhn
Actor | A Streetcar Named Desire
One of Hollywood's staple child actors during the 30s and 40s, Mickey Kuhn played alongside many a top Hollywood star from Leslie Howard and Conrad Nagel's son to playing Dick Tracy's ward. Once he reached the "awkward teens" stage, however, he found himself primarily unemployed or in unbilled ...
2. Greg Giese
Mr. Giese played (newborn) Bonnie & (newborn) Beau.
Note: In 2014 it was reported that a woman by the name of Joanne Johnson alleged (through her daughter) that she portrayed (newborn) Bonnie. However most historians have put her status as appearing in the film as strictly unconfirmed at best.
3. Patrick Curtis
Producer | A Swingin' Summer
Patrick Curtis was born on June 15, 1939 in Los Angeles, California, USA. He was a producer and actor, known for A Swingin' Summer (1965), The Sorcerers (1967) and The Day the Earth Got Stoned (1979). He was married to Annabel Little, Margolyn Curtis and Raquel Welch. He died on November 24, 2022 ...
Note: Some historians have put Mr. Curtis's status as appearing in the film as unconfirmed. If Mr. Curtis did appear in the film there would be a discrepancy with Mr. Giese because most sources state they Mr. Giese played Melanie's Baby (newborn Beau, as well as newborn Bonnie). I have personally been in touch with Mr. Giese and know that he is very credible, he even has the original contract that his mother was given to film him in the picture.
4. Dirk Wayne Summers
Writer | The Wonderful World of Jonathan Winters
Dirk Wayne Summers was born on June 9, 1931 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He was a writer and actor, known for The Wonderful World of Jonathan Winters (1986), Biosphere 2 (1991) and The Global Forum (1990). He died on September 27, 2021 in San Diego, California, USA.
5. Gary Carlson
Gary Carlson was born on March 6, 1928 in Los Angeles, California, USA. He was an actor. He was married to Barbara Lyn West. He died on August 20, 2022 in Provo, Utah, USA.
Note: This actor is incorrectly listed as "Beau Wilkes." I believe Mr. Carlson was a body double for one of the older Beau Wilkes actors. Also, it is unconfirmed if Mr. Carlson is living.
Three different children played Beau Wilkes during different times in the film, and they are:
Greg Giese - Newborn Baby Beau - I believe Mr. Giese was 11 days old at the time
Ric Holt - Baby Beau after the Civil War - Sadly, Mr. Holt passed away in '15
Mickey Kuhn - Young Beau - he was roughly 6 years-old in the film and is one of only 2 people living that was credited in the movie, not to mention the only child actor in the film that is alive that was credited in the movie

Actress | Secrets of a Sorority Girl
Caren Marsh was born in Los Angeles. Her sister, actress Dorothy Morris, was born Feb. 23, 1922. Getting into show business in 1937, Caren changed her name to Marsh because "there were too many people named Morris at the time." Caren's parents wanted her to go to college but she wanted to be a ...
