More on Dickie Moore
Description from Wikipedia:
Dickie Moore (born John Richard Moore Jr. on September 12, 1925) is a former American child actor. Besides appearing in a number of major feature films, he was featured as a regular in the Our Gang series during the 1932-1933 season. In addition to his Our Gang work, Moore is most remembered for his portrayal of the title character in the 1933 adaptation of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist and as Marlene Dietrich's son in Blonde Venus (1932).
He is also famous for giving Shirley Temple her first onscreen kiss, in the film Miss Annie Rooney.
In 1984 he published a book about his and others' experiences as child actors, titled Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star: And Don't Have Sex or Take the Car. The book's dust jacket listed the author as Dick Moore.
Moore is one of the few living Our Gangers from the original series. Other surviving members are Jackie Cooper, Dorothy DeBorba, Shirley Jean Rickert, Jean Darling, Robert Blake, Jerry Tucker and Jackie Lynn Taylor. Also still alive and well in Ireland is Mildred Kornman, younger sister of original Our Gang member Mary Kornman who has since passed away. Mildred, who appeared in 22 Gang shorts, achieved fame as an adult model under the name Ricki Van Dusen, and Mary were both daughters of Hal Roach Studios still photographer Eugene Kornman.
