Dickie Moore made his acting and screen debut at the age of 18 months in the 1927 John Barrymore film The Beloved Rogue (1927) as a baby, and by the time he had turned 10 he was a popular child star and had appeared in 52 films. He continued as a child star for many more years, and became the answer to the trivia question, "Who was the first actor to kiss Shirley Temple on screen?" when that honor was bestowed upon him in 1942's Miss Annie Rooney (1942). As with many child actors, once Dickie got older the roles began to dry up. He made his last film in 1952, but was still in the public eye with the 1949 to 1955 TV series Captain Video and His Video Rangers (1949). He then retired from acting for a new career in publicity. He currently produces industrial shows. Show less «

I think performers have a real need to be made aware of the fact that their gifts and talents have a residual use. I'm always interested in anybody's story where they have managed to beat the odds and come out doing something they want to do, and still be able to utilize their backgrounds. It's worked for me.

[Referring to Stymie of Our Gang and other Gang members] I liked him a great deal, he and his family. Pesonally I remember them best. His mother had us over, made ice cream in the back yard, and cooked dinner for us. Marvelous, lovely day we had; she had a big party one day at their home. I never knew any of the others socially. I was never at anyone's house, and I don't know if they were at ours. There was never anything wrong, there was just no communication. Show less «
