Moran. Mini bio: One of the lesser remembered but quite active child actors during the 30s and 40s was Jackie Moran. Born in 1923, he was a tyke model placed into films as a teen, often cast as a feisty street orphan. David O. Selznick took an interest in the gangly, fair-haired lad and cast him as Huckleberry Finn in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938) and in Since You Went Away (1944), not to mention a bit part in his epic classic Gone with the Wind (1939). Jackie made a solid appearance in the Buck Rogers (1939) serial in which he played young Buddy, who co-piloted the giant dirigible along with Buster Crabbe's titular hero. In the 40s Jackie played in a number of youth-oriented programmers, none particularly memorable, though he did create the role of teenager Jimmy Forrest in a mildly popular series of be-bop musical comedy romps that included Junior Prom (1946), Freddie Steps Out (1946), and High School Hero (1946). He retired from acting in 1947 and became interested in screen writing and public relations work. He died at 67 of cancer in 1990.)

Moran, first attracted attention through the fine quality of his voice while singing in a church choir. Later, his mother was persuaded by Mary Pickford to take him to Hollywood for a screen test. He then appeared with great success in numerous films including Fire Fighter, Mother Carey's Chickens, Haunted House, Gone With The Wind, Mad About Music, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Becoming a screenwriter for B movies in the 1950s, Jack also fronted a band in Hollywood as a drummer (several of his bandmates went on to join Stan Kenton's orchestra). In the l960s, Jack continued as a film writer, working extensively with Russ Meyer, notably on the films Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Good Morning and... Goodbye!, Common Law Cabin, and Wild Gals of the Naked West. He also played small roles in the latter two films. Jack moved to Greenfield, Massachusetts, in 1984, and wrote a novel, Six Step House. Jack died in Greenfield in 1991, of lung cancer. As requested in his will, Jack's ashes were scattered on the backstretch of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, a horse-racing track in Del Mar, California.) <http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/jack_moran/biography/> |
