CHILD STARS THEN AND NOW
T
he Hollywood Museum is highlighting more than 50 former child stars to create the new exhibit “Child Stars—Then and Now” which runs through December. Judy Garland’s Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz, Shirley Temple’s costume from Curly Top, costumes from the TV sitcom Diff’rent Strokes, and signed Mickey Mouse Ears and Annette books on loan from the family of Annette Funicello, are just some of the memorabilia on display. “The Child Stars—Then and Now exhibit is a realization of an idea I have been passionate about for some time,” said Donelle Dadigan, President and Founder of The Hollywood Museum. “Young performers are often the unsung heroes in the entertainment industry. Their contributions to pop culture have influenced and united generations of fans. A tribute to these pioneers is long overdue.” It’s a phenomenal exhibit for both the child stars as well as the public at large, said Scott Schwartz, the child actor who is known for his portrayal of a young boy whose tongue gets frozen to a pole in 1983’s A Christmas Story. “No matter what I’m going to do, I’m always going to be, ‘Oh you’re that guy.’ That’s okay. I’m proud to have been that kid,” he said. “My job was being in show business. So I certainly didn’t grow up the normal way.” Schwartz, who co-starred in 1982’s The Toy with Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason, said these opportunities gave him incomparable experiences. “The relationships that formed end up being the greatest benefit of all,” he said. Funds raised from the exhibit are being donated to A Minor Consideration, a non-profit formed to give guidance and support to young performers – past, present and future.
