"Bonnie

Blue" is coming to Jonesboro to participate in festivities for Margaret

Mitchell's 102 nd birthday celebration.

Cammie King,

one of a dozen cast members in "Gone With The Wind" still living,

will be a featured guest at The Road To Tara Museum in Jonesboro.

King was five

years old when she played Bonnie Blue Butler, the headstrong daughter

of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara. Her parents' roles were played by

Clark Gable, who was born in Cadiz, Ohio, and Vivien Leigh, who was born

in India and reared in England. Oddly enough, Gable was the only one of

the main leads who was born in the United States. Olivia DeHaviland was

born in Tokyo, and Leslie Howard was born in England.

Among the events

taking place on Friday, Nov. 8 is an open house at The Tara Museum. There

will be no admission fee, this day only, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. King will

be on hand at 10 a.m. to sign autographs and unveil the museum's latest

exhibit.

On Saturday,

Nov. 9, King will have an encore appearance from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.

Also taking

place on Saturday, the Georgia International Convention Center on Sullivan

Avenue, will be the site of a "Gone With The Wind" collectors

swap meet, from noon until 2 p.m.

At 2 p.m.,

a $25 ticket will allow you to participate in a high tea service, a program

by "Bonnie Blue", a commemorative autographed souvenir, a silent

auction and the opportunity to buy items from the "Gone With The

Wind" store. Tickets for this special engagement are limited and

it is suggested you call 770-478-4800 to reserve a ticket. The high tea

will take place at the Georgia International Convention Center, 1902 Sullivan

Road, College Park.

The Road To

Tara Museum is located in the Jonesboro Depot Welcome Center in the center

of town. Its Web site can be visited at www.visitscarlett.com .
