The tragic, trailblazing life of Jackie Coogan, 'the most famous boy in the world' : vimarsana.com

Six-year-old Jackie Coogan, who became an instant global star for his performance in Charlie Chaplin’s 1921 movie The Kid, was soon billed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as “the most famous boy in the world”. Four decades later, when he was a household name again for portraying Uncle Fester, the bald ghoulish-looking freak in the television show The Addams Family, he admitted his addiction to life in the spotlight. “Ask anyone,” he said in 1965, “public adoration is the greatest thing in the world”.
