Jackie
"Butch" Jenkins
Born Jack
Dudley Jenkins
in Los
Angeles, California
on August 19, 1938
Jackie Jenkins won the
Critic's Award for his performances in National Velvet,
Our Vines Have Tender Grapes, and The Bride Goes Wild.
If you ever saw
any of Jackie's movies, you would think this boy was
having the time of his life playing in front of the
camera. The truth is, he hated acting. When the pressure
of the studios became too much, he developed a stutter.
He left Hollywood and the screen at age 10.
