EricJ Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I wouldn't call Barry Gordon "neglected" for most of the 60's--not least as the wisecracking chip off of the ol' Jason Robards in A Thousand Clowns (1965)--but it was years before I found out his name. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

hamradio Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 This happens especially if the child actor(s) are unknown. Both Kristian De la Osa and Hatty Jones from "Madeline" (1998) Loved Kristian's little guillotine he built. Both Rebecca Harrell and the movie itself "Prancer" seems to get little attention like other Christmas films. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A weird name like Engineer can be a turn off. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2954597/?ref_=nmls_hd (One of Imdb's top highly under rated child actors, these are names never heard of before.) Sound like the daughter of one of these guys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it's the same. I mentioned a forgotten performance of Natalie Wood's in DRIFTWOOD, a forgotten film. But of course, Natalie is not forgotten. I'm sure Ray doesn't mind the topic expanding to include different examples. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
