Dead Page: Another GWTW Cast Member Gone

HAZEL WARP 1914-2008

"Gone With the Wind Stand-In

This is the third cast member to die in the last several months. Hazel Warp was Vivian Leigh's stunt double in the movie and died at the age 93.

She rode and trained horses for a living and was a stand-in for all of Vivian Leigh's riding scenes in the 1939 movie. She was also seen tumbling down the stairs of Tara in the famous scene near the end of the movie when Scarlett reaches out to slap Rhett Butler and loses her balance.

She also appeared in 'Ben-Hur," "Wuthering Heights ' and "National Velvet."
