Lisa Loring who played Wednesday said on The Addams Family set that Jackie Coogan was like a real life uncle looking after them. Guest he didn't want the same thing happening to them too.
You can also add Leeann Rimes to that list. Her parents pilfered her money. A friend of mine was an investigator on that case. Her parents bought tons of real estate, and other luxuries. Once the case ended, she had to sell all the properties, and recover as much of the losses that her parents had pilfered. She also won emancipation from them as well. Sad.
They stole 4 million dollars from him in the 30s which was a lot of money back then. Coogan law was passed as a result. Great video. Much respect my friend.
He had to deal with alot in his life. He also helped change things for the better for future child actors. Always will remember his portrayal of Uncle Fester.
He definitely deserves a better gravestone than he has. So sad what his parents did to him. I didn't know the Adams Family show only ran for a couple of seasons. I watched it as a kid and was under the impression that it was in for a long time.
An interesting fact about Jackie's role as Fester, He was talking to Charlie Chaplin one day, he was very upset about his work completely drying up and no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't get any work. Being that Charlie was so influential in Hollywood he went to the studios and demanded that they find a role for Jackie or Charlie would never work again for anyone in Hollywood. That's how Jackie got the role of Fester in the Addams Family. You have to give the kid some credit. He played a damn good part in "The Kid". By far my favourite Chaplin film.
Makes ya wonder if he talked to them after court or did he do family gatherings like thanksgiving Christmas and stuff like that with his mom afterwards. I can see it now. Jackie want to cut the thousand dollar turkey or ham.. Or Jackie saying maw pass my the 50 bucks taters
Wow I had no clue he was so famous when he was young. I felt very sad seeing his small grave marker. He should been in veterans cemetery.. thank you Lamont.
Coogan's Law was made because of him, The California Child Actors Bill. " The California Child Actor's Bill (also known as Coogan Act or Coogan Bill) is a law applicable to child performers, designed to safeguard a portion of their earnings for when they reach the age of majority, and protect them from exploitation and abuse.[1] The original Bill was passed in 1939 by the State of California in response to the plight of Jackie Coogan, who earned millions of dollars as a successful child actor only to discover, upon reaching adulthood, that his mother and stepfather had spent almost all of his money. Since then, it has been revised a few times, most recently on December 7, 2019"
Unfortunately it's never been put into effect prime example : Gary Coleman his parents were doing the same thing to as to what coogan parents did they lived off his work sad situation. I guess God didn't want me in entertainment because I'm pretty sure my parents would've done the same thing too.
Yes just like mama June she stole her daughters money and put only 30,000 in her coogen account, where she should have had a lot more,sad how greedy some parents are.
How could someone spend $50 million when a loaf of bread probably cost a penny or two. Go out for dinner with cost 50 Cent. That sure is some bullshit.
I literally just watched a documentary today about the mistreatment and abuse of the very first child stars in Hollywood, including Jackie Coogan, Jackie Cooper, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Paul Petersen, and Bobby Driscoll. All tragic and depressing endings. Hollywood and show business has a dark past and as a kid I never would have imagined. I'm a 90s kid. I think of people like the Olsen twins, The two Corey's, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Amanda Bynes, and countless others who are groomed and sexually assaulted are left completely traumatized and ruined for life. It's still going on, even though there have been old and new documentaries continuing to expose the dark side of fame.
The parents of the Olsen twins were marketing geniuses and invested their money making them incredibly wealthy. As adults they believe they're above everyone else. They don't give their former cast mates the time of day, or so it appears. Maybe they feel they were exploited as kids and just want to be left alone now. 🤷♀
@sirk425 - I read Shirley's book. And although her parents didn't actually STEAL from her, they did give to relatives that were in bad shape financially. Yes, she didn't have a GREAT DEAL of money after her "CHILDHOOD MOVIES," she still had the house that her money purchased and some money in the Bank. Shirley ended up marrying "WELL" after her first marriage. She was a Diplomat for Ghana. You should visit Shirley's grave. Actually, Mausoleum.
The car that they had the accident in, was Jackie's birthday present, which his father would not let him drive. The accident occurred on the way home from a hunting trip. The sole reason Jackie survived was because the huge sack of birds they'd bagged hunting was in the back seat, where it acted like an airbag and saved him from the full force of the collision! True.
Jackie Coogan also appeared in an Elvis movie, "Girl Happy" in 1965. I already knew about his childhood stardom and that his parents stole millions from him. But Coogan became legendary for his Uncle Fester character on the "Adams Family." May he rest in peace.
He started making movies in the 20’s. Mid 30’s the depression hit. The parents took advantage of that. They probably groomed him to think he was doing the right thing for his family by providing for them. As a kid you trust your parents to know what’s best for everyone. Sadly that wasn’t the case. I’m glad at least that he had a bit of a comeback with the Addams family.
This was truly fascinating. There was so much about Jackie Coogan that I did not know. Captain Sullenberger, the airline pilot who landed a jet in the Hudson River after the plane suffered a bird strike, was also a glider pilot. He flew them as a recreational hobby, but his skills came in handy in landing the aircraft whose engines had died. I just wonder what became of Jackie Coogan's parents; I don't know how they lived with themselves after rooking their own flesh and blood out of his entitlement.
God bless Jackie Coogan because his experience was not for nothing. He is the reason why today kids actors. Their parents could only touch a certain percentage of their earnings and the rest goes into a trust just for the child star. Now look at the Harry Potter actors even the ones Modern Family they’re all wealthy now and joining what they made his kids. But I won’t take away from their parents, cause he probably had good parents as well that wanted to make sure that their kids would be secure financially for the rest of their lives.
Yes, California had to pass a special law, the California Child Actor's Bill in 1939 (a.k.a. the Coogan Act) that required at least 15% of the child actors' earners to be set aside (by the employer) in a trust. The law has been revised a few times since then, giving child actors a greater say in how their parents and/or guardians can spend their earnings.
Unfortunately they find ways around the Coogan law regularly. I know Jeanette McCurdy in her book said that her mom got around it by not properly completing the paperwork or something along those lines. Also as far as I know, (unless something has changed) kids filming reality tv in their homes aren’t required to have paperwork filed for the Coogan law. Jill Duggar talked about that and how her dad got around it and ripped all his kids off. She had to go the legal route to fight for a minimum wage settlement. I guess my point is that I see a whole lot of flaws in the Coogan law/act that definitely needs improvement. There shouldn’t be any loopholes to exploit. I guess at the end of the day, it’s better than nothing towards protecting kids in Hollywood financially
@redlady8296 Now what they really need to do to protect kids in Hollywood is to empty it of all the child diddlers. Especially the big names ones who help run "the show". Steven Spielberg comes to mind. Yes, him.👿
What made the judge determine the amount of 250K sufficient?!!!!! His mother should have paid everything back to Jackie except for maybe ten percent of his earnings for caring for family, and getting a house for the family. Disgusting! I had no clue that he was a veteran! Thank you for your service, Mr Coogan! RIP
Because 20 yo Jackie just found out when he filed the lawsuit, probably through the discovery, that the majority of the 4 mil had been spent by greedy pos's mom & step-daddy & all that remained was $250k period. They blew it all on themselves & their lifestyle. It was almost all gone by the time of the lawsuit. Step-daddy was an attorney tho, my guess they got a heads up about the lawsuit or bc of possible inquiries from Jackie about his money that Step-daddy funneled the money into offshore accts or Swiss bank accts.
Absolutely loved this Video. We never know where it's going to take us and we are never disappointed. Love the way you tell us about someone's life Lamont, famous or not.
Excellent history lesson on Uncle Fester as I knew of him . May he R.I.P He sure had a poor excuse for a mother ! Don't hit the road too hard , we need you !
I didn't know anything about him except for being Uncle Fester. His parents should have gone to jail and pay him back. It is a good thing because of him no child actor will go through that now. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow, that Glider information was shocking. Thanks again Lamont. Who would have knew. I thought the actor's that appeared on the Adams family where a one shot thing. Shame again to selfish parents. May he rest in peace ❤❤❤. I loved him on the Adams family.
That cemetery is beautiful and so peaceful! I noticed that there weren't many flowers on the graves. I knew (not personally) Jackie Coogan from his days on The Adams Family. I didn't know his history but it was neat that you shared his past from his beginning to his sad end. What scoundrels his parents were. Thanks for sharing.
It's the episode where they're trying to save a children playground from being turned into a city dump, Alice knocks on his door for a signature to try and save it.
I loved him! ❤️❤️❤️ I saw a documentary several years ago about Jackie Coogan and it was so heartbreaking, and so many child actors had tragic stories, like Judy Garland💔😢 I don't understand how a mother could do what Jackie's mother did to him💔
The little girl, Judith Barsi, is a very famous case, where she was working as a very young child, supporting her parents & not only did they also spend her money but her dad ended up taking out his entire family. Even though there was a long history of DV in that family, Judith's mother refused to move out of the house. She liked living large...& this is what happened unfortunately.
Great to see you, Lamont, and great vid! Usually by the time I'm notified your vid's gone. Heartbreaking how kids have been nailed in HOllywood since the beginning.
@@personaking7844 I disagree. Since she was the Number One Pin Up model among WW2 troops surpassing Rita Hayworth, a lot of our WW2 troops disagree with you too.
It’s been happening for years now. Kids work hard to make a living and help their families. Who ever is responsible for the kids money shouldn’t touch it unless the owner authorized it.
He should have been given a more major role when acting on the Adam’s Family show. Till this day it’s puzzling why the scripts gave him just little bits and pieces in that show. And interestingly Sponsors never offered him a contract to promote their products, and there were no movie roles either. Was there something going on behind the scenes between Jackie and Hollywood the public wasn’t aware of?🤷🏼🙄🤔
@@bvillebikelady3651 Sure he wanted it, anybody would want any role offered them in order to find work in the field of acting. You take what was available. But that’s not what we’re talking about.
I was totally familiar with uncle Fester but did not know about his earlier life! Great information 👍 I am always learning when watching your stories! Thanks So Much!!!
I can't believe his own parents would do this to their child..Also didn't no his was s popular as a child. Never watched Oliver Twist or any of his older movies.. I cc remember the name and some of his appearances in tv. I remember uncle fester. Didn't know it was Jackie Coogan though.
What a sad story Lamont some parents are evil I remember watching the Adams family many many years ago in the uk. Peace out Lamont Rip to uncle Fester. Peace out Lamont ❤
Thanks for going to Forest Lawn Cemetery Lamont! Glad he was buried where a lot of movie people and camera crews, and other film industry people buried in. Forest Lawn famous cemetery for the wealth. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard buried inside Mausoleum and a few others too. Mr. Cogan, was abused as a child (not physically unlike other child stars) but his parents and then the shady lawyer. Mr. Cogan, has a better reward in our near future and so do all those buried in cemeteries, and where ever they died at.
What i find most sad about People, And more so famous people, while alive they are followed around by fans, they often on red carpets, invited to big events. then once they pass, all that's left is a head stone in the middle of some grass some where.. Just a Nothing.. Forgotten about..
Hi Lamont, gr8 presentation. I vaguely recall an NPR broadcast 15 yrs ago, or more abt a Northern California mob hanging. Some sort of notorious kidnap/murder & the town' ppl gathered up in mobs looking for the perpetrators, two twenty- something yr old white drifters. The mob caught up with the pair & basically hung them both. The program' host mentioned JC had been pictured on the scaffolding along with the rest of the mob. He was maybe late teens/early 20s & in NorCal for school maybe. My story may sound a lil convoluted & thin on details leading up to this actual historical event, since I heard it so long ago! Maybe something for possible future media content.

It is wild isn't it? Looked like a Staff Sergeant rank. Impressive.

His grandson is an actor too. His name is Keith Coogan. He was in Don't tell mom the babysitter's dead, Toy Soldiers, Hiding Out and some tv shows.
I know exactly who your talking about. Loved that movie Toy Soldier’s. Looks just like his grandfather.
Cool 😎
He also playedJeffery on the Waltons .
He was on an episode of Little House on the Prairie and a couple episodes of CHiPs

A good job on this one Lamont. I loved Uncle Fester. My grandpop told me how he got ripped off and showed me the movies he did as a kid.
Uncle Fester was great
Uncle fester was hilarious 😂😂

As Gary Coleman would say WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT LAMONT!!!
How could someone spend $50 million when a loaf of bread probably cost a penny or two.
Go out for dinner with cost 50 Cent. That sure is some bullshit.
I can only imagine the the extensive & top notch expensive jewelry & clothes collection his greedy pos mother had.

Didn't know just how established as a young actor he was. Omgg
He was essentially the Macualay Culkin of his era.
The Coogan Act was signed into law in 1939 because of Jackie’s experience.
Say Lamont on the run this was a really sad story that happened to Jackie Coogan may he R.N.P
Jackie Coogan flew Gliders in Burma in WW2and won the Bronze Star for Gallantry. The Glider was the WACO CG4A with a quick release on the nose.
He started making movies in the 20’s. Mid 30’s the depression hit. The parents took advantage of that. They probably groomed him to think he was doing the right thing for his family by providing for them. As a kid you trust your parents to know what’s best for everyone.

What a sad story Lamont some parents are evil I remember watching the Adams family many many years ago in the uk. Peace out Lamont Rip to uncle Fester. Peace out Lamont ❤
Thanks for going to Forest Lawn Cemetery Lamont! Glad he was buried where a lot of movie people and camera crews, and other film industry people buried in. Forest Lawn famous cemetery for the wealth. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard buried inside Mausoleum and a few others too. Mr. Cogan, was abused as a child (not physically unlike other child stars) but his parents and then the shady lawyer. Mr. Cogan, has a better reward in our near future and so do all those buried in cemeteries, and where ever they died at.
It's actually Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City
So sad there are no flowers on any of the graves??
Cant wait to visit your site
We have his uniform jacket on display at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton whe4e I volunteer
We all salute you Jackie Rip
He was one of the best.
They should make a movie of his life story
Thank you Lamont for a very enlightening story. ❤
What i find most sad about People, And more so famous people, while alive they are followed around by fans, they often on red carpets, invited to big events. then once they pass, all that's left is a head stone in the middle of some grass some where.. Just a Nothing.. Forgotten about..
I'd like to see the house
Coldest Mother "Broad" in History!!!
Hi Lamont, gr8 presentation.
I vaguely recall an NPR broadcast 15 yrs ago, or more abt a Northern California mob hanging. Some sort of notorious kidnap/murder & the town' ppl gathered up in mobs looking for the perpetrators, two twenty- something yr old white drifters. The mob caught up with the pair & basically hung them both.
The program' host mentioned JC had been pictured on the scaffolding along with the rest of the mob. He was maybe late teens/early 20s & in NorCal for school maybe.
My story may sound a lil convoluted & thin on details leading up to this actual historical event, since I heard it so long ago! Maybe something for possible future media content.
Lamont, thank you for doing the research in order to do this video. You did a great job. 💜
