- From 2006, with an intro by Robert Osborne. I forgot he also is their for the informal roundtable, but he is so good, he just lets them talk, most of the time. IMO, a fascinating group of former child actors, with many a story to tell. I only wish it was longer, (it is 75-80 minutes) but at least someone took the time to get their stories on film (or videotape)

Rest in Peace, Darryl Hickman. And now, we only have Margaret O’Brien left.
God, I miss Robert Osborne
4 child stars from Hollywood studio system days remembering their experiences. Very unique and valuable. I wish there were many more, but that ooportunity is gone now. Thank you for posting!
I wish TCM brought this back. RIP Robert Osborne
I've just revisited this after a couple of years. Absolutely enraptured all over again.
I'm very happy Miss O'Brien is still with us.
She was miss o Brian she was Mom of Morgan's o Brian before meet me in St Louis
Dickie Moore was a really fine child actor with a distinctively deep-for-his-age voice
I just loved how they all kissed at the end. For some reason, it really touched my emotions. Fascinating program!
Darryl grew up to be so incredibly handsome. Looked fantastic in a beard.
He was hot as a young man and here as an old guy. Just remarkable really.
It's wonderful to hear and see these child actors who are a special part of entertainment history never to be forgotten ❤!
This one and the one with Betty Hutton were my two favorite Private Screenings episodes. I was looking for this episode for years. Thanks for posting. I read Dickie Moore's book "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." A fascinating book and well worth looking for.
I also bought dickies book. Fascinating read
Betty Hutton was special and an amazing testimony for Christ and what a wonderful woman she became!💞
I love this. What an amazing group of people. I love listening to their stories and Robert Osborne is such a good host.
True. He lets the guests speak and doesn't take over
Briefly met Jane and got her autograph at a showing of a film in L.A. years ago. She was wonderful, and as open and positive as she is here.
Wonderful.
Completely transfixed. The time flew by
These are just wonderful programs. You click in on it thinking you're just gonna watch a couple of minutes and then its SO interesting you stay for it all. Thanks for a wonderful post
Rest In Peace Jane ❤️
I bought a can of Comet in her memory.
This was completely wonderful. I have just watched it in 2023, sadly Dickie Moore and Jane Withers have passed away but Daryl Hickman and Margaret O’Brien are still with us. I do agree with the men acting is not really good for children. Jane and Margaret were lucky. Acting is especially bad for children today
I just realized remember it being called back in 8 years before New Year's instead inside of interview review history books documentary about biography book of the world series finale season start show hollywood story life look back
Sorry to say I just saw Darryl Hickman died. RIP. Loved him here.
This is just wonderful. I'm in tears watching them standing and kissing and hugging and being so loving with each other. Darryl helping Jane stand up. Jane's hand on Dickie's face......etc, etc. I loved them before....and now I love them more. Thank you.
My stepfather was a child actor in the late 1920s-early 1930s after first being a child prodigy on the piano. He was in some important films (Strange Interlude, Rasputin and the Empress, Ambassador Bill) but was "washed up" by the time he was 13. His last film was Bureau of Missing Persons with Pat O'Brien. He made a lot of money, but never saw any of it as this was before the Coogan Laws. He also had to learn ethics and morals as an adult because his mother taught him to do anything necessary to get the part. My son wanted to be a child actor, but I told him no as the lesson of my step-father and the other children I had seen on film/tv stages was before me. Also, I knew I wasn't good material for a stage mother. He didn't forgive me for that, but I still feel I made the right decision.
I just LOVE this!❤️
SO interesting!
Oh my!
This was brilliant and such fun!
Love each one on this panel...❤💗❤💗❤
I have to admit that I only know three of these former child actors from one movie each: Darryl Hickman from "The Grapes of Wrath," Jane Withers as the "little brat" who bullied Shirley Temple in "Bright Eyes" (as well as "Josephine the Plumber" from TV commercials in the '60's) and Margaret O'Brien as Judy Garland's little sister in "Meet Me in St. Louis." (And I only know Dick Moore's name from books about old movies.) In any case, I appreciate the non-maudlin tone of their discussion. They were *not* reminiscing about how "wonderful" Hollywood was in their heyday as child stars.
This was so interesting to watch. Margaret O’Brien was my favourite child star. She was such a great little actress. Thank you for posting.
You won't smack me? You won't smack me if I bellar?
Such a good interview and so interesting to hear from all 4 of them about their times in the studio system. Thank you so much for posting this.
Jane's incredible attitude @ 10:30
This was excellent!
Thank you so much for this! I only got to see it once, when it first premiered on TV. I love Private Screenings and I was so sad a couple of weeks ago when I heard that Jane Withers passed away. She was a wonderful, bubbly person who gave so much! Not just on screen but in life
Angela Lansbury hired Jane withers for several Murder episodes
@@lindakahler4799 I completely forgot about that! I do remember seeing her in one. Thank you :) I'm going to look up which episodes she was in ☺
Sadly they are right they treated Shirley like a Princess. Guarded her every moment keeping her away from other children and adult actors. She had to always look and act perfect and no one yelled cut. Leaving the studios was the best thing that happened to her. 💕🙏💕🙏💕
They did but her mother was a mama bear. Her one and only priority was Shirley and her well being. She didn't want her to be spoiled or too worldly to protect her future as much as possible. Looking at Shirley's post Hollywood career in government, she came out of the whole experience completely intact. She was extremely sheltered on the set but she wasn't lonely. She played with her stand in , she played with regular kids in her neighborhood. When she was 12 and left her sheltered life at fox, she went on an interview at MGM where producer Arthur freed exposed himself to her. With that kind of garbage going on, can you really blame her mom for sheltering her at such a young age?
THANK YOU!!! I watched this when it first aired on tv and have thought about it many times over the years…how enlightening! Thanks for this gift!❤
Thank you so much for uploading
I love you all. Nice Interview
If anyone ever oozed CLASS its Robert Osborne
Superb !!
Thank you for showing this
This was delightful! I have always enjoyed the kidskin movies in the 1930's& 40's. Loved the bit about Dickie Moore and the rubber mask on the dancer in Miss Annie Rooney. Also
the cleaning out the stables with Darryl Hickman and Elizabeth Taylor as kids. My cousin was an extra in a Shirley Temple film and he didn't give a rip about how cloistered she was.
He went to her estate, waited for her to come outside, climbed over the fence & had a half hour visit with her before anyone discovered them. He was ordered off the property and
never saw her in person again. He said she was a really down to earth person and he liked her.
Oh, I love that story! Thank you for telling it ☺
Jane withers is my favorite! What a storyteller later in life too
Daryl Hickman was a handsome guy.
I think Jane withers was a lovely lady love anne
Daryl was so candid and honest here. Jane and Margaret seemed to have a much more romantic view on their child star days. Dickie and Daryl were more critical, it sounds like Daryl had some bad experiences too. I felt like he could have told more, but couldn't. A fascinating interview.
12:50...I got out my copy of Shirley Temple's autobiography, and her memories of Jane Withers are completely different. As much as I love Shirley Temple, it seems she confused the real Jane Withers with the character she played in BRIGHT EYES.
Shirley wasn't exactly known for being nice! :)
She worked for the UN. What does that tell you
Shirley and Jane would later become good friends :) You know, Jane passed away a few weeks ago :( But I was reading an article about her and she said that every year she would call Shirley on her birthday. When the person on the other end of the phone said "Who is it?" Jane would reply "It's Joy Smythe! Put Shirley on." Lol
I think it’s clear that Shirley did just that - confuse Jane Withers for her character in Bright Eyes - since her mother wouldn’t allow them to have any real life conversations. I’m sure that would be very confusing for a young child. Those are her only memories of Jane at that time, so it makes sense. I’ve always heard that Shirley Temple was a very sweet person.
@@cici2562If that's the case, then it's plausible that Shirley confused Arthur Freed (whom she accused in her autobiography of being inappropriate with her at MGM) with someone else. The only slur made against Freed that he was inappropriate was by Shirley.
RIP Darryl Hickman
The only one left is Margaret O’Brien at 86.
no...Hickman ix still alive
@@nondescript2892until 2 months ago that is.
this was very good I didn't know much about Dickie Moore and Darryl Hickman .Darryl I knew more about his brother
Who was his brother?
@lynnturman8157 Dwayne Hickman. He was a popular sitcom star in the 50s and 60s with The Bob Cummings Show and The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.
Fascinating....
Wow!!!
I would like to have heard Darryl speak about John Ford in more depth
yeah, that would've been interesting
Paley card. Oh, how my eyes rolled.

A wonderful show, spoiled slightly for me by the constant interjections and negativity of Darryl, who by his own admission was the least well known of the four. Jane really should have been more heavily featured but was so modest she did not interrupt or jump in during the others' stories.
he was the most real together with Moore...the women obviously preferred rose tinted glasses.....glad he was there to give some asides not filled with nostalgia but telling it how it really was....
He chose not to sugar-coat his experiences. I would imagine that Jane Withers’ experiences were not all as wonderful as she said they were. She chose not to share the negatives. Darryl has never been that kind of person.
