Evelyn Keyes – who as Suellen O'Hara in 1939's Gone With the Wind had her beau Frank Kennedy stolen away by her older sister, Scarlett O'Hara – died July 4 of uterine cancer at her home in Montecito, near Santa Barbara, Calif., the Associated Press reports. She was 91.

In real life, besides some high-profile marriages to Big Band leader extraordinaire Artie Shaw, illustrious film directors John Huston and Charles Vidor, Keyes had numerous lovers – at least 20, by one count.

One, the impresario Mike Todd, she lost to another, much younger screen beauty: Elizabeth Taylor.
