Sadly, successful child actor Darryl Hickman died today at the age of 92. He was one of the few remaining film actors from the 1930s and 1940s who grew up in the studio system. He appeared in over forty films beginning in 1936, before switching primarily to television come the 1950s. Hickman appeared in many classics, including three already on this blog, "Meet Me in St. Louis", "The Grapes of Wrath", and most memorably, as "Danny" in "Leave Her to Heaven". You can read more about his life and career in my posts on the latter two, just click on the film titles to open those posts.
Just saw him in The Human Comedy, a sensitive portrayal by someone so young. I had a crush on Darryl Hickman when I was about 9 years old and saw him in the TV series, The Americans, about two brothers on opposite sides of the Civil War. I misremembered it as starring Darryl and Dwayne as the brothers, but Richard Davalos played the other brother. He was very funny in his appearance on All In the Family as a TV commercial director having to deal with Archie Bunker.
Una lastima. Recuerdo su papel en "que el cielo la juzgue". Bello homenaje.
