Weird thing is, the things the kids made up happen to Skeeter in real life: gumballs, dwarf and all. If he can somehow harness this magic, he may win a competition with...
...Once Mulligan and Pakula found a congenial performer, they wanted to do it again. They reunited with McQueen for a Horton Foote drama, Baby the Rain Must Fall (1965), about an ex-con singer who has problems staying out of criminal or domestic trouble. And in Inside Daisy Clover (1966), Wood is a thornier soul: a '30s waif who becomes a movie star.
