Want to see a list of forgotten actors? The cast of "Bugsy Malone" is long with forgotten names. A big budget film about the 1920's mob, cast entirely with children. And a musical! Here's the list:

As is apparent from the other thread, not everyone has forgotten her...before
she played Bess, I saw her (with Moosie Drier, later a "Laugh-In" regular and
Howard Borden's son on "The Bob Newhart Show", as her little brother) in the
movie "The War Between Men And Women" in which Jack Lemmon plays a
thinly-disguised James Thurber....

In article <806eebb7-2757-4cee...@googlegroups.com>,
name was John Cassisi. Um, July 1977. Nothing remarkable happened
until we all got off the airplane at LAX. Cassisi had maybe two dozen
relatives waiting to greet him. I'd never seen so many happy people in
one place, unless it was at the Nixon resignation party I'd thrown
three years before.
BTW James Earl Jones was four rows back. This was right after the
original Star Wars film had opened. If anybody knew he was the voice
of Darth Vader, they were still keeping it to themselves. I looked at
him, and he looked back at me over the top of his newspaper. He looked
grumpy.

That's who impressed me, John Cassisi. Cute little chubby kid who seemed to have some talent. Big role. Seems he never did another thing again.

She'd previously played William Windom's daughter on the similarly-themed "My World and Welcome to It" (both the 1969 TV series and 1972 film were Melville Shavelson/Danny Arnold creations).

Incidentally, she is the granddaughter of child actor and screenwriter True Boardman, and the great-granddaughter of silent film actors True Boardman and Virginia True Boardman.

Perhaps the ultimate forgotten child actor is the boy or girl who played Earl's infant sibling, whom I only remember being referred to as "Baby."

Kind of reminds me of "Pleurisy", the little sister of Farina in two early "Our

kid was for decades....
We should start another thread for adult actors who have fallen off the radar,

You made me look. Ugh. Yes, there were. Worse, the original release
print is believed lost, according to the IMDb. The film originally
came in at just over three hours. The Brits cut it to a tick under 129
minutes, and made another minute's worth of cuts when the censors
insisted. Then the Brits whacked another nine minutes out of it for
its TV premiere on Christmas in 1970. That's the print circulating
today.
BTW Fergus McClelland is quoted in Wikipedia as having told the BBC
that Paramount (which cut the film by an additional 40 minutes so it
would fit on a double bill) retitled the film for the U.S. because
"[t]hey were very worried that white Americans would think it was about
a black boy called Sammy and wouldn't go to see the film."

Another forgotten child actor who made quite an impression in just one film role was Erzsebet Foldi, who played Roy Scheider's pre-teen daughter in All That Jazz. Dropped out of show business, but I thought she could act and sing and dance quite well.

And even if you had heard of them, it *was* just a job
they held. Kind of like trying to remember all your
'extremely forgotten' coworkers from jobs you held in

They don't remember us, either.
