Peggy Ann Garner..not so underrated--she did win a Juvie Oscar.

Sean Nelson from Fresh and American Buffalo--absolutely brilliant in both.

Wheezer, from Our Gang...that kid broke your heart and made you laugh as well. He was often paired with Stymie, and those two were a fantastic team. Sadly, he died in WWII.

Sybil Jason, most famous for "Becky" in "The Little Princess". She was a great little actress. Read her "My 15 minutes" for an inside look at working at Warner Brothers in the 1930's.

Funny you mention Sybil, I just met her last night.

Her and my aunt are very good friends.

Well, from the past, any child star whose name wasn't Shirley Temple.
My favorites are Margaret o'Brien and Freddie Bartholemew. you don't see drinks named after them, but really wonderful actors. I think both of them won a juvie Oscar in their time, but I still think they're underrated.

I love TINA!!!! I was really glad when she made a comeback in Napolean Dynamite. I remember seeing her in a TV movie of Alice in Wonderland

Tina's also on HBO's Big Love as the daughters friend, isn't she? I like her, she's really natural in all I've seen her in.

Huckleberry Fox... the little kid brother who NEVER fails to make me bawl like a baby whenever I see "Terms of Endearment." The scene in the hospital tears me apart, and it's mainly because of HIM, and his reactions to what's going on.

"Oh, Lo, Miss!"

Becky, "The Little Princess"


I actually think Spanky when he was littlest and had that hat with the pom pom was amazing. His timing was great and his delivery hysterical.

Sybil was great in "Little Princess"... Menny Appy Returns!

And the Little Princess was at the END of her career at Warner's. She was a star in her own right at Warners until the dreaded puberty hit. You should see her in Little Big Shot or as Kay Francis's daughter...not once...but twice!

Baby Spanky was great..the DVD sets with his early appearances are his best work...but I still favor Wheezer Hutchins over Spanky.
