And I would like to add that one reason Prissy in GWTW annoys people so much is because McQueen was TOO GOOD and made the awful Prissy believable...even when the character's whole story was ignored (Prissy is not only supposed to be 14 years old, her mother, Dilcey, was the midwife at Tara. I mean, why would anyone believe Prissy when she says she can "do everything" otherwise?) As McQueen said herself "Prissy was horrible."

Her last film was "Mosquito Coast". A great overlooked film with Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren and River Phoenix.
