His first fame came in playing the role of Beau Wilkes ( Ashley and Melanie 's son ) in Gone with the Wind ( 1939 ). He later went on to appear in Juarez ( 1939 ) opposite Bette Davis, as the adoptive son of John Wayne in Red River, and in A Streetcar Named Desire ( 1951 ), in which he was reunited with Vivien Leigh a dozen years after they first worked together in Gone with the Wind. In A Streetcar Named Desire, Kuhn played a sailor who directs Blanche to the correct streetcar which will take her to her sister 's neighborhood at the beginning of the film. He is the only actor to share screen time with Leigh in each of her Oscar - winning performances. Kuhn left film business in 1957 and later worked for American Airlines and the Boston airport in administrative positions until his retirement. He now regularly visits film festivals dealing with his old films. Kuhn, along with Olivia de Havilland ( who portrayed his mother, Melanie Wilkes ), is one of the last two surviving credited cast members from Gone with the Wind. Patrick Curtis is also a survivor, although his part of Melanie 's infant newborn son is uncredited. Kuhn currently lives in Naples, Florida and volunteers four hours per week at a local hospital.
