What became of .... ?

Dickie Moore (1925–2015) 



Here seen with Marlene Dietrich in Blonde Venus 1931

A busy and popular actor during his childhood and youth, he appeared in over 100 films until the 1950s. He later performed on Broadway, in stock and on television. He went on to teach and write books about acting, edit Equity News, and produce an Oscar-nominated short film (The Boy and the Eagle), and industrial films. In 1966, after battling alcohol and drugs, he founded a public relations firm, Dick Moore and Associates, which he ran until 2010. In 1984, Moore published Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star: (But Don't Have Sex or Take the Car), a book about his and others' experiences as child actors. From 1988 until his death in 2015 Moore was married to the actress Jane Powell.

On working with Cecil B DeMille in The Squaw Man 1931, "He was a complete and total egotist who didn't give a damn about anyone but himself. He hit me. I was a five-year-old kid and he hit me!"


With Shirley Temple in Miss Annie Rooney 1942

Though he did have a battle with alcohol, he came out of it, and lived a long life.

Meg Tilly, after the 1993 horror film, Body Snatchers, she stopped acting for the next 15 years. She became an author of novels.

In 2011 she played Martha in Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,presented by the Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre in Victoria, B.C.

Later acting in Canadian TV-series Bomb Girls (2012-2013).

2016 she acted in Canadian Horror movie Antibirth.

Lives with her third husband in Toronto.

Throughout most of the 1930's-'40s, glamorous Gail Patrick memorably carved out a niche for herself as comically viperish sophisticates, lobbing acid-tongued barbs at leading ladies and men alike in such films as My Man Godfrey, Stage Door, My Favorite Wife and Tales of Manhattan.


Following her self-described "informal" retirement from performing in 1948, she maintained a successful Beverly Hills business of clothing design for children. Her husband at the time was Thomas Cornwall "Corney" Jackson, literary agent to author Earle Stanley Gardner, a connection which eventually led to her position as executive producer (as Gail Patrick Jackson) of the Perry Mason TV series (1957-1966).
 

She passed away in 1980.
 

Baby LeRoy (1932–2001)

Child/Baby "actor".  When he was sixteen months old, he became the youngest person ever put under term contract by a major studio (Paramount). The contract had to be signed by his grandfather, as not only was Baby LeRoy underage, but so was his 16 year-old mother.


With Maurice Chevalier in A Bedtime Story 1933 in his debut.



With W.C Fields in The Old Fashioned Way 1934. Fields never liked to work with him, but the audiences did.


A publicity stunt called Baby LeRoy's first date. The Date is Shirley Temple.

By 1935 his career was over. 

His "comeback" became a fiasco, he landed the lead role in Paramount's The Biscuit Eater 1940. He began filming the opening scene that called for Baby LeRoy to swing across a lake holding a rope, but he lost his grip and fell into the lake as the cameras rolled, this happened twice, and it was shot on locals in Albany, Georgia. He became very ill with a cold, and also lost is voice. Paramount replaced him with Billy Lee, as production couldn't be halted.

After education and using his real name Ronald Le Roy Overacker, he became a merchant seaman.

The only times he ever appeared again was in 1957 on the game show To Tell the Truth.

I found another rather unpleasant pic with Fields and LeRoy but I decided not to post it here. Fields lifts up LeRoy's left arm, and lifts him up so he is just hanging there. While Fields have a golf club in the other hand.

Nadine Nortier will always be fondly remembered in cinematic history for her exceptional lead performance as Mouchette. (1967) 

She was born in 1948 and was 18/19 years at the time of filming Robert Bresson's highly acclaimed masterwork.

For whatever the reasons this was to be Nortier's only film.

No trace or any further information is known of her,   "what became of" ... Nadine Nortier ?

                   

Eddie Hodges was born on March 5, 1947 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA. He is an actor, known for Advise & Consent (1962), The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1960) and A Hole in the Head (1959). [IMDb]


Often stated as a boy that he wanted to become a Baptist minister when he grew up...Ironically, he converted to Roman Catholicism during the 1990s....Dropped out of performing and eventually became a mental health counselor in his native Mississippi. [IMDb]

Julie Allred 

I came to answer the question of whatever happened to Baby Jane.

 Julie Allred, who played the young Baby Jane Hudson in the 1962 movie, "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" is not dead, as listed in the IMDb entry for her.  Not exactly sure who it was that they got the information from, but most of it is bogus.

Julie was raised in Long Beach, California.  She was the middle child in a family of five children who sang and danced, performing for church and schools.  Julie appeared in "Gypsy" in the Melodyland Theatre in the Round near Disneyland about the time she got her one and only movie role.

She took ballroom dancing at Call's Fine Arts School of Dance, which had produced Mouseketeer and Lawrence Welk dancer Bobby Burgess, where her and her brother Mike were award winning partners.  This is where I got to know Julie, as we were in the same dance class for four years.

Julie and I also attended the same high school, LongBeach Polytechnic, where we worked tougher on a 10th grade World History project, a she got us an A.  She wa a emember of the swim team and a Song and Flag Girl, graduating in 1972.

He father was Stake Patriarch of the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and about 1980, most of the family had moved to Utah.

Her brother Mike is the father of  actor Corbin Allred.

wish I could post pictures, but I do not have access to them here in the nursing home.
