The story of Bobby's life is the most tragic of Hollywood kids. He rose to fame as a Disney player in the late 40's in such classics as So Dear To My Heart, Song Of The South and Treasure Island.
In 1950, Bobby received an award from The Golden Globes for for the 'outstanding juvenile actor of 1949'.
Bobby Driscoll, finally one of the tragic of screen children, seemed to have everything going for him. He was pleasant looking, alert, plucky, intelligent, with a sense of humour and great acting talents. He had all the chances a kid actor could have wished, and took them beautifully. And his was a face the camera loved, alive with fleeting shadows and nuances.
