1 | [Referring to Stymie of Our Gang and other Gang members] I liked him a great deal, he and his family. Pesonally I remember them best. His mother had us over, made ice cream in the back yard, and cooked dinner for us. Marvelous, lovely day we had; she had a big party one day at their home. I never knew any of the others socially. I was never at anyone's house, and I don't know if they were at ours. There was never anything wrong, there was just no communication. |
2 | I think performers have a real need to be made aware of the fact that their gifts and talents have a residual use. I'm always interested in anybody's story where they have managed to beat the odds and come out doing something they want to do, and still be able to utilize their backgrounds. It's worked for me. |
3 | People have a tendency to remember you as you were. Unless you're careful, you have a tendency to remember you as you were, too. |
4 | [on working with Cecil B. DeMille in The Squaw Man (1931)] He was a complete and total egotist who didn't give a damn about anyone but himself. He hit me. I was a five-year-old kid and he hit me! |
5 | There was a time when I bridled whenever a fan bothered me for an autograph or someone started with the jokes about dimples, but now I'm rather pleased that someone remembers. |

1 | Besides his his wife, Jane Powell, survived by a son, Kevin; a stepson, Geary; two stepdaughters, Lindsay and Suzanne; a sister, Pat Kingsley; and several grandchildren and step-grandchildren. |
2 | Moore was "discovered" when Joseph Selznick's secretary was picking up his mother to take her to the studio and impulsively decided that the infant Moore looked like John Barrymore may have as a child. Moore then was hired to play the young Barrymore in The Beloved Rogue (1927). |
3 | Author of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (But Don't Have Sex or Take the Car)" in which he interviewed 31 ex-child actors, more than half of whom found their adult lives beset by alcoholism, nervous breakdowns, or failed first marriages. [1984] |
4 | He recalled that the much-publicized scene in Miss Annie Rooney (1942) in which he kisses Shirley Temple was extremely embarrassing for him, inasmuch as it was the first time he had ever kissed any girl; conversely, in her autobiography, Temple cheekily pointed out that it most certainly wasn't her first time, and that she breezed through the scene with her customary professional aplomb. |
5 | Co-produced and co-directed and acted in a two-reel short subject called Boy and the Eagle (1949) that earned an Oscar nomination. |
6 | Served in World War II and attended college majoring in journalism. |
7 | Quit acting at the age of 29 after making over 100 movies. He became involved with Actors Equity and became editor of their magazine and eventually became a part of the public relations counsel. In later years he formed his own public relations office and edited the journal of AFTRA, producing industrial shows and supervising other accounts. |
8 | One of the Little Rascals for just a year (1932-1933), his closest friend on the set was Stymie. He left the Rascals at age 8 to seek greener pastures--feature films. |
9 | Did not meet Jane Powell, his future wife, until 1981 when he was researching his book on child stars, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." |
10 | In 1957 he accepted the newly designed post of public relations director of Actors Equity. In 1964 he left to form his own public relations firm, Dick Moore Associates. |
