Evelyn Keyes

Evelyn Keyes is forever tied to Gone with the Wind as Suellen O'Hara, and I think that's both a blessing and a trap for how we remember her. A small role in a colossal film can flatten a whole career, but it also guaranteed her a place in Hollywood history. Coming out of Port Arthur, Texas, into the studio system of the late 1930s, she lived through the most mythologized era of American film. I'd argue she's better appreciated as a survivor of that golden age than as a single character, and her long life, ending in 2008, makes her a real link to a vanished Hollywood.
