MINI BIO:
Dark-haired, appealing and very natural American child star, with big brown eyes and long pigtails, capable of more heartfelt conviction in her performances than most adults. Received a special Oscar in 1944, but when her studio (MGM) suspended her in 1950 for refusing to do a planned live-action film of Alice in Wonderland (ironically, never made), her star career was virtually finished.
