My dear Doc,
Like you, I grew up on (reruns!) of the Little Rascals / Our Gang
films. Jackie was always an all American boy, for sure. I always
thought he made a great Perry White - chief editor of the Daily Planet
in the original Superman movies. He was one of those few child actors
that managed to be successful in his adult years.
RIP Jackie!
