Volume 1 of 3. Learn from the feature players of Hollywood what it
was like to work on films during its Golden Era. Enjoy their often
humorous and exciting stories as they lived out their lives and
careers behind and in front of the camera.
Former child actor Paul Petersen once said, "Fame is a dangerous
drug and should be kept out of the reach of children." It is
certainly true that many child actors have fallen prey to the
dangers of fame and suffered for it later in life, but others have
used fame to their advantage and gone on to even more successful
careers in adulthood. This work is a compilation of interviews with
39 men and women who, as children, worked in the motion picture
industry in Hollywood. They all handled their childhood celebrity
differently. Lee Aaker, Mary Badham, Baby Peggy, Sonny Bupp, Ted
Donaldson, Edith Fellows, Gary Gray, Jimmy Hunt, Eilene Janssen,
Marcia Mae Jones, Sammy McKim, Roger Mobley, Gigi Perreau, Jeanne
Russell, Frankie Thomas, Beverly Washburn, Johnny Whitaker, and
Jane Withers are among those interviewed. They talk candidly about
their experiences on and off the set, the people they worked with,
and what they did after their careers ended. The pros and cons of
being a child actor and the effects that it had on them later in
life are discussed at great length.
