Freddie Bartholomew

Freddie Bartholomew was the golden child of 1930s Hollywood, breaking hearts as the noble boy in Captains Courageous and Little Lord Fauntleroy. What moves me, though, is the second act. Child stardom almost always casts a long shadow after the dazzling light, yet he eventually stepped behind the camera as a producer and director, supporting the very stage that once made him. Moving from being lit to doing the lighting is its own kind of grace. With a star on the Walk of Fame and a life devoted to the screen until 1992, his stubborn love of film leaves me wanting to quietly bow.
