Laura Hope Crews (1879-1942) was an American actress who played Pittypat Hamilton in Gone With the Wind (1939). She was personally picked by George Cukor, after Billie Burke declined the role to play Glinda the Good in The Wizard of Oz, which was filmed the same year. She died only three years after the première of Gone With the Wind.
