He had played in several films when he attracted great attention in his role of Joel McCrea’s neurotic young son in The Unseen. In Anna and the King of Siam he was Irene Dunne’s son. Bom in Los Angeles, it was only natural that Darryl Hickman should take an interest in films from an early age. Almost as soon as he could walk and talk he showed an inclination to sing and dance, so when he was only four years old he was sent to a school that trained children for the stage.

Films in which he has played include Our Vines Have Tender Grapes, Boys’ Ranch, Little Mister Jim, My Brother Talks to Horses. Jack Bronson Jenkins is his real name. He has light brown hair and blue eyes. His freckles are a real headache to cameramen, for they fade and bloom with the amount of sunshine he receives. The make-up man has had to come to the rescue frequently. The director of the small boy’s latest film thought of a new solution — putting Jackie “ Butch ” Jenkins. Anthony Sydes.
