Three performers who appeared in “Gone With the Wind” helped mark the 50th anniversary of the Academy Award-winning film at the annual Clark Gable celebration over the weekend in Gable’s birthplace, Cadiz, Ohio. On hand were Cammie King Conlon, who played Scarlett and Rhett’s child, Bonnie Blue; Patrick Curtis, who was Ashley and Melanie Wilkes’ infant son, and Fred Crane (the former longtime classical music program host at KFAC in Los Angeles), who had the role of Brent Tarleton, one of Scarlett’s suitors. The celebration was sponsored by the Clark Gable Foundation, which plans to build a theater and museum where Gable films would be shown year-round. Gable was born in Cadiz, but grew up in nearby Hopedale.
