Young Mickey with Leslie Howard

Mickey Kuhn (1932-2022) was an American actor who played Beau Wilkes in Gone With the Wind (1939). Dying in November 2022 aged 90, he left Patrick Curtis (who played the baby version of his character) as the only surviving cast member of the film.

While filming, Mickey kept blowing the scene by calling Rhett Butler by his actor's name Clark.

After Gone With the Wind Kuhn went on to play several minor parts, with one distinction. He played a sailor in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), who directs Vivien Leigh to the titular streetcar. He and Vivien were reunited from Gone With the Wind twelve years earlier, and this makes him the only actor to have acted with Vivien Leigh in both her Academy Award-winning films, and the only two films in which she played a southern Belle.

Besides Vivien Leigh, he worked together more often with other Gone With the Wind co-stars:
