It's funny. I looked up Dickey Moore because I had just finished watching my favorite film noir Out of the Past, where he plays a deaf/mute. I was wondering if he was really a deaf/mute.  I guess this interview answers my question. What a nice man!

@MandyRascal what is his email? i wanna meet him. hahaha

What a sweet man he is. I had written him a letter attached with a photo of him in hopes he would be able to sign it....I received it a week ago, personally inscribed....he kept my letter. I can only hope it made him smile. As we all know, Dickie is one of the last few remaining kids from The Our Gang Comedies....sad to see Jackie has left us. These kids will remain a permanent piece of American History. Loved hearing about his friendship with Stymie....very sweet. We love you, Dickie!!

He was married to Jane Powell at this time. He was the original Oliver Twist in the 1935 film. As a young man, he played opposite Jock Mahoney in the Columbia serial, "Cody of the Pony Express."

Thanks for posting. This was very interesting. I loved the our gang shorts and remember Dickie well. You can still hear that slight rasp in his voice and recognize his same expressions. Really nice to see him and hear his point of view.

I remember Dickie. I thought his character was so cute, intelligent, but with a lot of attitude. For some reason, I detected, even as a kid, that he wasn't especially happy. It is so nice to know that he is still with us.
