No, I’m not that naked chick. REALLY, I’m NOT!

Gosh – imagine my dismay when I was informed that my blog had the very same name as another website featuring an ex-playboy playmate… YIKES! Well, just to let you know, although I wouldn’t mind having her figure, it’s not me. And I’m not adding a link to her site, since I’m not the porn-peddling type.

Needless to say I will probably be reregistering under a different name starting very soon… or maybe I’ll just stick with some of the other blogs I’ve been working on for the last year.

“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.
