Jackie at the Chaplin Studios. |
On the set of The Kid. |
Chaplin wrote the following about Jackie in 1921: "What first attracted me to the boy was a whimsical, wistful quality, a genuineness of feeling. He is the lovable child carried to the nth power, yet endowed with not a little of the self-consciousness of an artist and with a hundred resources as an actor." (Chaplin, "The Marvelous Boy Of The Movies," Vanity Fair, January 1921) |

He would have been 99--just seems unimaginable!
