FREDDIE BARTHOLOMEW

FREDERICK CECIL BARTHOLOMEW

Born: March 28th, 1924 (London)

Died: January 23rd, 1992 (emphysema)

Marriages: Maely Daniele (1946-1953), Aileen Paul (1953-1977), Elizabeth (? - His death)

Children: Two children.

Success: Freddie is known for the acting  in his youth and starred in many hit movies.

Interesting Fact: He was abandoned by his parents as a baby and was raised by his Aunt. When he became famous his parents sued for 6 years of royalties.

Awards: Winner of two walk of fame's.

Hidden Gems: "David Copperfield" (1935), "Little Lord Fauntleroy" (1936), "Captains Courageous" (1937), "Kidnapped" (1938).

His success as a star unfortunately did not transfer into his manhood. Even though his acting career changed and left him no choice but to produce for television, his performances as a youth are only surpassed by Shirley Temple. His transformation from spoiled to humbled, in "Captain Courageous" (1937), is my favorite performance of his.

*Here is a scene I've shown before from "Captains Courageous" (1937)
