TomJH Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 On this, your 89th birthday. I know it's been a while, but you'll always be Becky Thatcher to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveGirl Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 My heart goes out to anyone who had to play opposite Tommy Kelly. I can't watch his films since I am a diabetic*. Happy Birthday, Ann! *Just kidding, stole that from Oscar Levant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Birthday, Ann! *Just kidding, stole that from Oscar Levant. Oh, I thought that Tommy Kelly caught the mischevious spirit of the title character in Adventures of Tom Sawyer to perfection. Even Oscar Levant might have liked him in that film. I thought that Kelly and Ann Gillis were a charming pair of performers when they played together in that film. Watching his courtship of her, with that frog jumping in his hat, hokey as it may seem to some, also has a nostalgic charm of youthful innocence that I think will appeal to many. Of course, having the likes of Victor Jory's Injun Joe and the wonderful May Robson as the perfect Aunt Polly added to the casting joys of that Selznick production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
