She played the part of Prissy, house servant in the O'Hara household, in the film Gone With the Wind, one of the all-time greatest blockbuster movies. Her part was small but pivotal. After boasting that she knew all about "birthin' babies," she had to confess as Melanie went into labor (during the burning of Atlanta) that she didn't know a thing about midwifery. That revelation forced Scarlett to assume charge, becoming under duress a strong and self-reliant woman instead of a spoiled and pampered princess.
