    I can't help feeling proud of Bobby as he walks excitedly up to that stage to receive his Oscar. You'd have to have a heart like a swinging brick not to be moved by this. It's a good thing that here, he didn't know what a terrible future lay in store for him as an adult. May you Rest In Peace, dear Bobby.

      It's so tragic what happened to him. He is the very epitome of what the Hollywood machine does to its victims: it chews them up and spits them right out. As soon as he wasn't "cute little Bobby Driscoll" anymore, they carelessly dumped him - and with absolutely no remorse. In the words of an older Bobby (shortly before he tragically died), "I was carried on a silver platter... and then dumped into the garbage."

    Just read the most fascinating article about Bobby Driscoll in Entertainment Weekly magazine. I admit I've never heard of him. What a tragic end to such a wonderful and talented young man.

    There's absolutely no limits to Donald O'Connor's adorableness 🥰. I think he was passed over many times as an academy recipient . For all his work as a child actor and entertainer.

    So Dear To My Heart is such a great and underrated film.

    Just read an article about Hart Island, where Bobby Driscoll is buried. Very, very sad.

    I have zero use for the Oscar's today because it's just not your father's Hollywood anymore, been discovering who Bobby Driscoll was recently and am saddened by his downfall. Drug and alcohol abuse have been around for ever and unfortunately it seems to be getting worse as the years go by. RIP BOBBY 🙏 I promise you that I will never forget you.

      Your father's Hollywood (and other institutions) was just as vice ridden, they just kept it better covered up.

    So sad how he thanked God for such a wonderful mother and father but they were quite abusive I read.

    a film about Bobby Driscoll

      David Martin Nope. There was a failed Kickstarter attempt you can find here on RUclips. So bizarre his story isn't more well known when he was such a huge deal and he's even on the Hollywood walk of fame.

  • @DavidMartinFilms
    @DavidMartinFilms 6 лет назад +9

    has there been a film made about him?

      There's not yet a biopic, but there's a fine documentary here on RUclips titled *Lost Boy: the Bobby Driscoll Story.*
