- Join hosts Kody Frederick and Jason DeBord this week as they have a chat with Academy Award-winning icon, Miss Margaret O’Brien.
Legendary child star Margaret O’Brien is considered by most film critics and historian to be the greatest “little” actress of all time. O’Brien, a gifted dramatic performer, was one of the most popular movie stars of the 1940s. At age three, she expressed a serious desire to pursue acting while posing for magazine covers for photographer Paul Hesse, and the rest is movie history.
Her film debut was a one-minute scene in Babes on Broadway (1941). Studio executives were amazed at her extraordinary talent and cast her in Journey for Margaret (1942) as the little orphan girl during the war. Overnight, O’Brien soared to major stardom. She was heralded as a “sensation”, a “child genius”, and MGM wisely signed her to a long term contract.
She remained one of the biggest child stars throughout the 1940s, becoming a number one box office attraction. Her unforgettable performance as “Tootie” in Vincente Minnelli’s Meet Me In St. Louis (1944) co-starring Judy Garland earned her an Academy Award and the position of the highest paid entertainer in the country.
O’Brien went out to turn out spectacular performances in classics such as The Canterville Ghost (1944) and Unfinished Dance (1947). Her brilliant work in The Secret Garden (1948) and Little Women (1949) immortalized her to a global audience.
O’Brien masterfully has performed roles in film, television, on stage and over the radio for decades and continues to work today, long after achieving superstar status as one of Hollywood’s cherished icons from the “Golden Era”.

So beautiful and amazing. God Bess you Mrs. O'Brien
Terrific interview with a Hollywood legend. Never will forget O'Brien's vivid work in "St. Louis," specifically her very real hysteria in the snowmen scene, one of the most moving moments I've seen in a film.
Happy 85th Birthday Margaret O'Brien
What a fantastic find, I did not know this incredibly talented actress was still with us. She simply is such a delight and what an honor was for you guys to meet her. I could only pray to be as clever and smart and on top of it as she is at her age. And then on top of that she looks great ! Best wishes and the Best of health. Keep going strong Margaret 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 💌
She was fantastic in The Secret Garden. My fave interpretation of that story.
Great little interview. The 40's gave us the golden generation of child actors for me with the likes of Virginia Weidler, Margaret O'Brien, Dean Stockwell, Shirley Temple, Connie Marshall, Ann E Todd, Bobby Driscoll, Peggy Ann Garner, Elizabeth Taylor etc., &, with the recent passing of Dean Stockwell, Margaret O'Brien is definitely the greatest of them still living, it's fantastic to still see her doing interviews & sharing her stories. I still can't watch Our Vines Have Tender Grapes without being overwhelmed when she gives away her cow at the end. Always love the classics.
Thanks for watching!
What a treat!
One of my favorite
I'm watching Meet Me In St. Louis right now.
Great interview! I love hearing her tell stories! I loved all her movies but I especially loved her in The Unfinished Dance! It's such a great story of sin, forgiveness and redemption! Truly great story as well as wonderful dance scenes!
Thank you for watching. Margaret is an incredible soul.
@@ThatPopCultureShow She really is! She is very sharp! I'd love to have lunch with her!
Love Margaret.
Margaret O'Brien is the most adorable child actress of all time.
I am watching Little Women right now...and i thought to check to see if Ms. Obrien was still alive, & she is...looking good at the age of 84...
Correction...85 yrs old...
"Oh, WOW!"
Does anyone know how to get an autograph from Ms O’Brien?
