Poor Mickey Daniels. He had been dead for I think about 10 years at this point but nobody knew how, when, or where at the time. The press didn't notice it and he was unclaimed for so long it's just head shaking.

[@artytoons]

From Leonard Maltin's "Our Gang" book: Mickey Daniels worked as a cab driver and died in San Diego, CA in 1970. Spanky McFarlane died in 1993. Tommy Bond died in 2005 Jay R. Smith was murdered by a homeless man he had helped in 2002 in Las Vegas.

Uh-Huh was not Red Jackson, it was John Collum. John died in 1962. Sherwood is still alive in 1984 and was not vanished until his death on his 64th birthday 1987. Jack Davis died in 1992. Joe Cobb died in 2002. Eugene Jackson died in 2001. Sunshine Sammy died in 1989. Johnny Downs died in 1994. Mary Ann Jackson died in 2003. Jackie Cooper died this year. Dorothy DeBorba died last year. Wally Albright died in 1999. Leonard Kibrick died in 1993.

The curse of the rascals.... it's so sad.

[@debbutcher9087]

Robert Blake may be the last one alive now?

[@DisWldFrk90]

@langtongirl That curse if you think about it is completely blarney. Most of them lived past the life expectancy of their time and died of things that unfortunately many people die from. And when you have this many kids in a series, there's bound to be multiple tragedies. A curse would be a relatively small cast where all of them died in uncommon ways over a span of time. Snopes actually did a statistic on this theory debunking it.

[@BishopAP]

It was still almost 20 years off from this, but J.R. Smith's death is pretty brutal as far as how senseless it seemed to be.

[@d4seasons]

@artytoons i have two versions of the book. it's nice but i wished there were more photos & stories. tommy bond ( butch ) was the only rascal i've ever met in 1994 in new york city. i waved to him & said " it's nice to see you tommy ". he smiled, waved, & nodded back.****enjoy.****

[@84hendrixnirvana]

I wonder where the e true hollywood story, the curse of the little rascals is at?this is good too!

[@TheNoisePolluter]

Interesting how Jackie doesn't remember much of any of it.

[@friendsfamilyaccount]

Remember this was 1984-no internet, etc. It wasn't as easy to trace people and they may not have tried very hard. It would have been a lot of snail mail letter writing and there were tons of O.G. kids. I think the Maltin/Bann book came out in 1977 and was updated once or twice with information (and films!) that they didn't have at the time.

@limbo22222 Thanks for cearing that up for me :) That Red Jackson thing confused the hell out of me! This show is FULL of mistakes!

[@simontwain1885]

Why was Our Gang no more in Spring 1944?

[@matthewl4067]

David Rull The films weren't doing well at the box office leading MGM to simply give up on the series.

[@bartkasper4172]

+David Rull SKIPPY was a movie that Jackie Cooper made in 1931 - the movie became successful and Cooper left OUR GANG at the end of the 1930/1931 season.

[@simontwain1885]

[@thevoiceisbydon]

you are soooo wrong, satch. ancient jewish historians wrote of Christ and it has been proven that the gospels were written by the eyewitnesses. see the light, bro, before it is too late...

[@simontwain1885]

Who played Mary Ann?

[@DisWldFrk90]

David Rull Mary Ann Jackson

[@ausomm]

Am moved by some of the tragedies of some of there lives. Would hope they they came to receive Christ as their savior, knowing how they touched so many with their innocence.

[@debbutcher9087]

I think the gang are all dead now?

[@nixzary]

[@nixzary]

[@joshuab36]

Dickie Moore died today....and Jean darling died like a couple of days ago...weird...

[@SatchmoSings]

I am absolutely correct; there are no contemporary, extra-biblical, first hand accountings of such a being; Jesus is myth. Indeed, if what you claimed was true you would have presented evidence to prove your point; you've shown me nothing because you have nothing.

[@SatchmoSings]

Jesus never lived on this earth; there are no contemporary, extra-biblical, first hand accountings of such a being; Jesus is myth.
