Bartholomew, Freddie

Bartholomew, Freddie

▪ American actor
in full  Frederick Llewellyn Bartholomew  
born March 28, 1924, Dublin, Ire.
died Jan. 23, 1992, Sarasota, Fla., U.S.

      child actor who epitomized Hollywood's vision of a proper little English boy in such Depression-era films as Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936) and Captains Courageous (1937).

 Bartholomew was reared by his aunt, Millicent Bartholomew, who found small stage and screen roles for him in Britain before taking him to Hollywood, where he became an overnight star with his first major role, as the title character in David Copperfield (1934). His popularity soared with films such as Anna Karenina (1935), Kidnapped (1938), Swiss Family Robinson (1940), and Tom Brown's School Days (1940). At the peak of his short film career, he was the highest-paid child star after Shirley Temple. His fame and rising income brought out his long-absent parents, who filed an unsuccessful and expensive lawsuit to wrest custody from his aunt. After serving in World War II, he briefly returned to acting. In the early 1950s, he moved to New York City and became an advertising executive.
