Bobby Driscoll was an American child and young-adult actor whose substantial career included work on the screen, television, stage, and radio.

In late 1961, addicted to drugs (having begun using when 17), he was sentenced to prison. In 1965, a year after his parole expired, he relocated to New York City.
