Over a period of 2 decades, The Our Gang Comedies assembled a legion of America’s most talented children, and laid hundreds of short films to print. A few of these child stars had successful careers afterwards, but most fell into obscurity. And then, some of the series’ biggest stars suffered a series of tragedies so bizarre that an “Our Gang Curse” was long thought to plague them. That may up for dispute, but the fact is that these timeless short subjects, a staple of the airwaves in my formative years, are barely shown on television today.
Although I would like to know more about him...He was only in a few, said only 4, he died in Hugeson, CA...I have always been interested in stuff like this, he went to CA to be an Actor, probably, but what brough him to Hugeson, (San Francisco area), was probably working, he wasn't working at the time, a couple of years after his last Our Gang Comedy, did family find a job up there?

Actually Bobby Dean was the first to die at age 9 because of either obesity or measles in 1931...Although he seemed to be a minor character.
