The views of his father, an insurance salesman, aren’t known, but it was when he was talking insurance with a lady called Ethel Meglin – who happened to run a famous drama school for children – that the boy’s die was finally cast. He had been showing off almost as soon as he could walk ("I was the biggest hambone that ever lived", he said later) and it was now a matter of developing and polishing the talent. In his early years Darryl had the air of a soulful duckling – irresistible when he was also trying to look tough and independent. One eye he caught was that of Bing Crosby, visiting the Meglins to pick some song-and- dance kids for "THE STAR MAKER". Bing’s brother Everett, an agent, was sufficiently impressed to take Darryl on, and soon afterwards landed him a five-year contract with MGM.

  • Jackie Cooper
    Jackie Cooper Titles: 49+ Sources: 10 Stills: 52 aka: Leonard Cooper Born: John Bigelow; Los Angeles, California; September 15th 1921/22 Son of studio production manager C.J. Bigelow; nephew of director Norman Taurog Homely puppy hits the Big Time – Cooper‟s big break was in “SKIPPY” Source: indeterminate “One day I‟ll be editor of the Daily Planet!” – Studio publicity shot Source: indeterminate website The snub-nosed tyke with truculent pout look was evidently a real winner in the thirties. Jackie Cooper had none of Coogan’s soulful vulnerability, none of Bartholomew’s precious decorousness. He hadn’t the sheer energy and vaudevillean versatility of Rooney, or the offhand prettiness of Dickie Moore and others. Analyising Cooper’s appeal is a puzzle. It cannot even in fairness be said of him that he was a talented child actor. In titles like “THE BOWERY” or “TREASURE ISLAND”, for example, his performance is servicable at best. Jackie Cooper was, as James Cagney famously characterised himself, a “bread and butter” actor, his everyman face and voice struck a chord with Depression-era audiences. He had few pretensions, worked hard, and put the bacon on the table. Behind him, as ever, a mother determined to get her son on the screen, in this case by a judicious fiddling of the studio books. In many of his best-remembered titles the young Cooper was teamed with burly aw-shucks Wallace Beery, and the studios obviously regarded them as something of an item, but in a revealing aside during a recent interview, Cooper indicated that Beery was actually quite offhand towards him when the cameras weren't turning, so they didn't hit it off at all so well as the screen gave out.

My dissertation committee—Anna Everett, Constance Penley, Michael Curtin, Mireille Miller-Young, and Lisa Cartwright—made this unique piece of research possible with their openness, as well as their many areas of diverse expertise. Many others at UC Santa Barbara were instrumental to my intellectual and personal development, including members of my MA committee Janet Walker, Lisa Parks, and Charles Wolfe; Paul Amar, who I worked with as a manuscript editor during the later years of my dissertation; and Edward Branigan, whose library office was an idyllic retreat for the first year of the project.

  • Shakespeare on Film and Television in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress
    SHAKESPEARE ON FILM AND TELEVISION IN THE MOTION PICTURE, BROADCASTING AND RECORDED SOUND DIVISION OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Compiled by Zoran Sinobad January 2012 Introduction This is an annotated guide to moving image materials related to the life and works of William Shakespeare in the collections of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress. While the guide encompasses a wide variety of items spanning the history of film, TV and video, it does not attempt to list every reference to Shakespeare or every quote from his plays and sonnets which have over the years appeared in hundreds (if not thousands) of motion pictures and TV shows. For titles with only a marginal connection to the Bard or one of his works, the decision what to include and what to leave out was often difficult, even when based on their inclusion or omission from other reference works on the subject (see below). For example, listing every film about ill-fated lovers separated by feuding families or other outside forces, a narrative which can arguably always be traced back to Romeo and Juliet, would be a massive undertaking on its own and as such is outside of the present guide's scope and purpose. Consequently, if looking for a cinematic spin-off, derivative, plot borrowing or a simple citation, and not finding it in the guide, users are advised to contact the Moving Image Reference staff for additional information. How to Use this Guide Entries are grouped by titles of plays and listed chronologically within the group by release/broadcast date.
