A lot of TGE names mentioned are not too familiar to me. I will comment on the ones I know .
Sandi Deschler did some high profile films , the Last Time I saw Paris, and the Opposite Sex , the remake of the Women. She had the meaty role carried so well by Virginia Weidler in The original. Sandi was cute but did not have anything too remarkable in her performances. She always reminds me of a female Dennis the menace Jay North, a rather obvious style for the fifties, well coached but no more than that.
Dean Stockwell was one of the really astonishing child stars in film history. His sweet child’s face was accompanied by a natural way of speaking lines and an ability to project very strong emotions. His technique carried him into adult parts where he got an early chance to show his chops in Long Days Journey Into Night. Up against Ralph Richardson, Kate Hepburn and Jason Robards in one of the great roles of American theater, he fought his corner and demonstrated he was ready. He had already starred in Sons and Lovers, and Compulsion. He went on to steady work in films and some regular parts in TV.
Some might argue that Christian Bale did not make the transition unscathed. He has TGE reputation of being very difficult to work with.
