McQUEEN, Butterfly, Thelma Mack (1911-1996). Popular actress and dancer. At the age of 13, she joined a Harlem theater group. She was nicknamed Butterfly after appearing in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, in which she danced the Butterfly Ballet. She is best remembered for her appearance as a black maid in Gone With The Wind. She also appeared in the Academy Award winning movie Mildred Pierce (1945) and other fine movies. She won an Emmy in 1980 for her performance in a children’s production The Seven Wishes of a Rich Kid.
