Darryl Hickman - Overview - MSN Movies |
 | | July 28, 1931 in Hollywood, CA Biography:Actor "Darryl Hickman" was discovered at age three by kiddie-troupe entrepreneur Ethel Meglin, to whom Hickman's insurance salesman father had sold a policy. |
| | Whenever young Hickman would ask his ambitious mother exactly why he was trodding the boards with Meglin's Kiddies, she would reply, "But, dear, it's what you've always wanted." Hickman's first movie was a minor role in "If I Were King" (1938), followed by a better, critically lauded role in "Bing Crosby"'s "The Star Maker" (1939). |
| | After free-lancing for several seasons, Hickman signed a five-year MGM contract, which he later considered a mixed blessing in that, while his roles were good ones, he grew up much too quickly for his tastes. |
