Evelyn Keyes, who played Scarlett O'Hara's younger sister Suellen in "Gone With the Wind", has died. She was 91.

Keyes died July 4 of uterine cancer at her California home according to producer and close friend Allan Glaser.

Glaser said the news of Evelyn's death was not released sooner, because lawyers wanted to wait until the death certificate was filed.

Among her notable roles: as Robert Montgomery's lover in "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" (1941), the Ruby Keeler role as Al Jolson's wife in "The Jolson Story" (1946), and as Dick Powell's wife in "Mrs. Mike" (1949).

She also starred in B pictures that were later praised by movie critics as prime examples of film noir: "Johnny O'Clock" (1947), "The Killer That Stalked New York" (1950), "The Prowler" (1951), "99 River Street" (1953) and "The Big Combo" (1955).
