...child actors go to school for at least four hours a day. "On Little Darlings, the picture I just finished, we got in about three hours of work a day, what with lunch and makeup." This month she begins filming Circle of Two, a love story about a teen-ager and a painter of 60, played by Richard Burton. Tatum will get $500,000 and a percent of the gross...
Dave (Dennis Christopher) is a gangly, nice-looking blond kid, just out of high school, still living at home and wondering what he ought to do with his life.

In the Dickensian Sparrows, she played a clever and persistent teen-ager who frees the inmates of an orphanage from sadistic bondage. It was a strong role for a forceful woman. Even in pictures like Pollyanna or Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Pickford showed wit, endearing mischievousness and sheer spunk...
