Personal Quote:

I wish I could say that my childhood was a happy one, but I wouldn't be honest. I was lonely most of the time. A child actor's childhood is not a normal one. People continually saying 'What a cute little boy!' creates innate conceit. But the adulation is only one part of it ... Other kids prove themselves once, but I had to prove myself twice with everyone. See more »

Trivia:

Buried in a mass grave on New York's Hart Island, better known as Potter's Field. It is unknown exactly where he was buried as the burial records from 1961 to July 1977 were destroyed by a fire. See more »
