Information about child actors also provodes a great deal of fashion information. Both clothes these children wore as well as the costumes they wore in their films and shows provide much valuable information. These childrens often dressed very fashionably so information about them provides insights into contemprary fashions. The costumes they wore in films also provides useful information--although it must be treated more cautiously.HBC is preparing an alphabetical listing of child actors in movies, plays, and television.
Personable little boy who played Rusty on The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin (1954-59). He later reported he had panic attacks causing difficulties remember his lines. As a result he did not pursue his acting career.

Michael Ande was a well-known German film child star during the 1950s. A German reader reports, "He played in those films with nice people, love and mountains, etc (sentimental film in an idealized setting). Some ould consider these rather smaltz tear-jeakers. They were, however very popular films in Germany." He played a variety of roles in these films, including choir boys. There is an image of him, for example, on the HBC choir-film pages. Michael also played in "Die Trapp-Familie". The film was made some years before the U.S. musical version "The Sound of Music" was made.
John Albasiny wore a school uniform in the film "P’tang Yang Kipperbang" (199?).
The Goonies (1985), The B.R.A.T. Patrol (1986), White Water Summer (1987).
