Dickie Moore(1925-2015)
- Actor
- Director
- Producer
Dickie Moore made his acting and screen debut at the age of 18 months
in the 1927 John Barrymore film L'étrange aventure du vagabond poète (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 later produced industrial shows.
