Margaret O’Brien – 1937

Margaret O’Brien was known for her endearing youthful attitude. She struggled to make the shift from kid to adult star. Her prominent degree progressed slowly with her appearance in Heller In Pink Tights.

O’Brien shifted her focus away from Hollywood and toward her family, putting her sole attention on her spouse and daughter. She continued to make minor public appearances and conduct interviews regularly. Her last public appearances were on floats in the Los Angeles Christmas Parade in the early 1980s. In 1981, she made a cameo appearance in the film Amy. Now, she’s one of the last surviving stars from Hollywood’s Golden Age. The former child actress has nothing but fond recollections of growing up on the MGM property during the studio’s peak.
