Los Angeles: Fred Crane, the actor who played one of Scarlett O'Hara's young suitors in Gone With the Wind, has died at the age of 90.
The Los Angeles Times quoted Crane's wife, Terry, as saying that he died of a blood clot in his lung on Thursday.
Crane played Brent Tarleton in the film that made him famous. He was said to be the oldest surviving adult male cast member.
"I'm just a small shard in a grand mosaic," he told the Atlanta Journal in 2007, referring to the movie that starred Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.
Crane was just 20 when cast in the film. "It was a matter of being in the right place at the right time," he said later.
