“Tarleton Twin” Gone With The Wind Actor, Fred Crane, Dies at 90

Fred Crane, the old-school actor whose distinct Southern drawl got him a role in the 1939 classic film as one of Scarlett O’Hara’s suitors in “Gone With the Wind,” has died. Crane played the part of one of the Tarleton twins.

Crane came by his role by chance when he accompanied his cousin to the movie audition. His accent was such a hit he landed the role of Brent Tarleton, the character that spoke the opening lines to the movie, “What do we care if we were expelled from college, Scarlett? The war is going to start any day now, so we’d have left college anyhow.”

Scarlett, played by the beautiful Vivien Leigh, replied to Brent and his twin brother, played by George Reeves (who later played Superman), “Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk’s spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream.”

His 5th wife, Terry Lynn Crane, said that he died Thursday of complications from diabetes. She did not give any further details. He was 90 years old an is survived by four children, eight grandchildren and a great-grandchild.

Brown claims she suffered physical and psychological injuries.

However, three first-class passengers on the plane testified Wednesday that they never saw or heard anything to indicate that Victoria Osteen assaulted Brown before the start of the flight from Houston to Vail, Colo…

I do believe that SOMEBODY owes SOMEBODY not only an apology, but a refund of $3,000 the Osteens had to pay in fines for interrupting a flight – which was not their fault. PLUS, Brown should pay some sort of penalty for making a false report.
