  • Dickie Moore (born John Richard Moore, Jr. , on September 12, 1925) is a former American child actor. Besides appearing in a number of major feature films, he was featured as a regular in the Our Gang series during the 1932-1933 season. In addition to his Our Gang work, Moore is most remembered for his portrayal of the title character in the 1933 adaptation of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist and as Marlene Dietrich's son in Blonde Venus (1932). He is also famous for giving Shirley Temple her first onscreen kiss, in the film Miss Annie Rooney. He was less successful as a teenage actor and young adult, and he retired from the screen in the early '50s. He went on to teach and write books about acting, edit Equity magazine, perform on Broadway, in stock, and on TV, write and direct for TV, produce an Oscar-nominated short film (The Boy and the Eagle), and produce industrial films. In 1984 he published a book about his and others' experiences as child actors, titled Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star: (But Don't Have Sex or Take the Car). The book's dust jacket listed the author as Dick Moore. Moore is one of the few living Our Gangers from the original series. Other surviving members are Jackie Cooper, Dorothy DeBorba, Jean Darling, Mildred Kornman, Robert Blake, Jerry Tucker, Sidney Kibrick and Jackie Lynn Taylor. Moore has been married to the actress Jane Powell since 1988.
