	Bio for Roddy McDowall on MSN Movies
		McDowall arrival in Hollywood coincided with the wishes of 20th Century-Fox executive Darryl F. Zanuck to create a "new Freddie Bartholomew." He tested for the juvenile lead in Fox's How Green Was My Valley (1941), winning both the role and a long contract.
		McDowall left films for the most part in the 1950s, preferring TV and stage work; among his Broadway credits were No Time for Sergeants, Compulsion, (in which he co-starred with fellow former child star Dean Stockwell) and Lerner and Loewe's Camelot (as Mordred).
		McDowall's most frequent assignments between 1968 and 1975 found him in elaborate simian makeup as Cornelius in the Planet of the Apes theatrical films and TV series.

		McDowall has moved from child star to character actor, back and forth between Broadway and Hollywood, an arc that reaches all the way to his current role as Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" at Madison Square Garden (in which he alternates with Hal Linden).
		McDowall is still best remembered for the films that first made his reputation: "How Green Was My Valley" and "Lassie Come Home," both classics, not least of all because of his remarkably sensitive performances, in the first as the son of a Welsh coal-mining family, in the second as Lassie's master.
