Many of the Original Cast Members were present:  Ann Rutherford (Carreen O'Hara), Cammie King (Bonnie-Blue Butler), Greg Giese (Bonnie-Blue & Beau-Wilkes as babies), Evelyn Keyes (Suellen O'Hara), Fred Crane (Brent Tarleton), Rand Brooks (Charles Hamilton), Michael Kuhn (young Beau-Wilkes), Ric Holt (infant Beau-Wilkes) and, the Immortal "Prissy"; Butterfly McQueen.  This was the first time they had all been assembled in over 50 years, and with the tragic passing of Butterfly McQueen (died in 1995), Rand Brooks (died in 2003), Evelyn Keyes (died in 2008), and Fred Crane (died in 2008), it would be their last. This Historic Original Photograph was taken backstage at the Fox Theater on the evening of December 15, 1989.  I was the only person allowed backstage with a camera.  Only 25 original prints were made at that time, and each was personally signed by those assembled.  Afterward, a signed original photograph was given to each person pictured and one was also presented (please see image) to Miss Marcella Rabwin (died in 1998), David O. Selznick's Administrative Assistant, as a token of my personal admiration.  The remaining original signed photographs were retained by The Shaw-Tumblin Gone With The Wind Collection. This is one of the original GWTW 50th Anniversary Signed Photographs and comes with a Lifetime Guarantee & Certificate of Authticity signed by James L. Tumblin, Owner of The-Shaw-Tumblin Collection.

Sad, But True Department For many years, another individual has claimed that he also portrayed "Beau-Wilkes" in Gone With The Wind and yet, despite repeated requests that he do so, has consistently refused to provide any form of documentation, contracts, vintage newspaper articles, proof of age, or any related material that could substantiate his claim...other than the same old story that he was "once married" to a famous movie star. Miss Olivia deHavilland has referred to him, in writing, as a "rank imposter." Ann Rutherford has stated, also in writing, that he is "...as phoney as a 3 Dollar Bill." He has also claimed to have been the baby in MGM's "Another Thin Man" - NOT ! He has also claimed to have been in Walt Disney's "Song of The South" - NOT ! He has also claimed to have been "...in almost every Tony Curtis film made at Universal." - NOT ! So, if someone is trying to sell you a signed "Baby Beau" Gone With The Wind Photograph that HAS NOT been signed by any of the above actors, buyer beware! - - - - Be sure to check out my other online auctions.     Place a Bid!
