Butterfly McQueen

A lifelong atheist, she donated her body to medical science. As of November 2003, Moss, very keen to protect her and her family's privacy, had revealed almost nothing about her son. McQueen died in Augusta, Georgia as a result of burns received when a kerosene heater she was attempting to light exploded and doused her in fuel. They had a child together in the summer of 2003. She had one more role of some substance in the 1986 film The Mosquito Coast. Moss married fellow actor Steven Roy in 1999. Her acting roles after this were very few, and she devoted herself to other pursuits including study, and received a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science in 1975. She also appeared as Natalie in the critically-acclaimed Memento in 2000 as well as in a supporting role with Juliette Binoche in the Academy Award nominated film, Chocolat starring Johnny Depp.

By 1950 she had commenced a three year stint on the television series Beulah which reunited her with her Gone With The Wind co-star Hattie McDaniel. She reprised the role of Trinity in two sequels as well as providing voice-overs for video game and animated spin-offs of the film. She continued to play maids and small parts in various films including Since You Went Away, (1944), Mildred Pierce, (1945) and Duel in the Sun, (1946) but by 1947 had grown tired of the ethnic stereotypes she was required to play and ended her film career. Her big breakthrough came when she was chosen to play the leather-clad hacker Trinity in the 1999 box office success The Matrix. She made her first film appearance playing an uncredited bit part as a sales assistant in The Women in 1939 and later that year filmed what would become her most identifiable role - as Prissy the maid in Gone With The Wind. She moved to Los Angeles, California with the series in 1992. Born Thelma McQueen in Tampa, Florida she trained as a dancer and took her stage name from "The Butterfly Dance" after performing it in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Her first television appearance was in the drama series Dark Justice.
