Actress Evelyn Keyes, who played Scarlett O’Hara’s younger sister Suellen in Gone With the Wind, has died in California at the age of 91.  The cause of death was uterine cancer.

The actress died July 4 of uterine cancer at her home in Montecito, near Santa Barbara, producer and close friend Allan Glaser said Friday.

Keyes’ personal life often overshadowed her acting career. Besides her often turbulent marriages to Shaw and directors Huston and Charles Vidor, she lived with the flamboyant producer Mike Todd for three years during his preparation and filming of “Around the World in 80 Days.” She played a cameo role in the movie and helped on publicity.

Keyes was a well known actress during her time. Besides Gone With the Wind she also starred in Here Comes Mr. Jordan, The Jolson Story, The Seven Year Itch, and The Prowler.

If one were to compare her to an actress today it might very well be Pamela Anderson for all of her famous marriages or perhaps Lindsay Lohan because she was always the talk of the Hollywood gossip back in the 40’s and 50’s.

She was married to Barton Bainbridge until his death in 1940, director Charles Vidor from 1943-1945, actor John Huston from 1946-1950, and bandleader Artie Shaw from 1957-1985.  She never had children but adopted a Mexican boy while married to Huston back in the late 40’s.
