Again, this blogathon includes any child actor or actress who performed in films or on television. Topics can vary from a specific individual, non-profits who help young actors or to general treatment of children in the Golden Era.
For those who are still interested, leave a comment and I will add you to the list.
Having a hard time thinking of a child star? Just ask or visit classicmoviekid.com which has a fairly good list of names of child actors.
Check out the Comet Over Hollywood Facebook page for the latest updates or follow on Twitter at @HollywoodComet.
This is going to be great! Can’t wait to read about all these remarkable kids.

Hi there! I would like to contribute a review of “The Keystone Kid: Tales of Early Hollywood” by silent child actor Coy Watson Jr. It’s a really wonderful book and I had been meaning to share it.

I have two possible ideas in a flatfooted tie. One would be one a specific actor another would highlight a number of performances by different actors. May I do two?

OK, so then I think I’ll do feature on Jackie Searl and then a follow-up on a prior Juvenile Award piece. This one would feature some of those left out by Academy’s retiring of the award.

This sounds like too much fun! If possible, I’d love to do a post on either Franco-English child star Bobby Henrey and THE FALLEN IDOL or on the deadpan scene-stealer George “Foghorn” Winslow. Let me know if that’s okay!

I put you down for both so you can pick whichever. Someone is writing about George Winslow but I have no problem with people writing about the same folks!
