Her son
Dirk Wayne Summers appeared in
Gone with the Wind (1939) as "Youngest Boy in Band," cast no
doubt, at the request of his maternal grandfather,
Harry Davenport (Kate's
father), who also chose the boy's name at birth. As a young actor in
Richard II, Davenport had worn a 'dirk' (a small dagger) on his
costume, and always liked the name.
