Break out role for little Jackie Coogan who grew up to wed Betty Grable, then become Uncle Fester in the Addams Family, as well as Shirley Jones dad in The Partridge Family (after Ray Bolger who was The Scarecrow in The Wizard Of Oz.)

More importantly, Jackie’s parents stole all of his money & he had to take them to court to get his earnings back, leading to landmark legislation that would protect child actors from predatory parents (California Child Actor’s Bill- The Coogan Act). Throughout his life, Charlie Chaplin took care of Jackie & never turned his back on him.
