Cammie King Conlon(1934-2010)

The part of "Bonnie Blue Butler" in Via col vento (1939) was to have been played by Cammie's older sister; however, by the time the scenes were to have been filmed, her sister looked too old for the part. Cammie stepped in to take her place.

By the time I was twelve years old I was five feet ten inches. I sensed that I had a problem from the way boys were reacting to me. That ended my ambitions for an acting career. I'm awfully glad, though, I played "Bonnie". The role really didn't change my life, but I don't recall ever meeting people, either in business or socially, where it doesn't come up.
