Trivia

Boy soprano

Married 3 times

Gave up his movie career to pursue his nightclub singing act.

Breen appeared in nine films between 1936 and 1942. Four of those films earned single Oscar nominations: three for Best Original Score and one for Best Scoring. Breen's last ,in Johnny Doughboy (1942), did not afford him the chance to sing solo but only gave him one number, shared with Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer and 'George 'Spanky' McFarland' . The plot revolved around has-been child stars trying to put together a USO show. Unfortunately, Breen's speaking voice at that point in his life - he would have been 15 - recorded like a Disney mouse.

Featured on the cover of The Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album.

Personal Quotes

[on audience reactions to his nightclub act as an adult] They expect me to come onstage still wearing short pants. It takes a lot of work out there to make them believe I'm grown up. They resent it somehow. It's something I have to fight every single performance.

Where Are They Now
