Jackie Coogan
Jackie Coogan was an American actor and comedian, best known for his role as the child star in Charlie Chaplin's classic film 'The Kid' (1921). Born on October 26, 1914, Coogan became one of the first child stars in Hollywood and later transitioned to adult roles, most notably as Uncle Fester in the beloved television series 'The Addams Family' (1964-1966). His portrayal of Fester helped solidify the character's place in pop culture, contributing to the show's enduring legacy. Coogan's life was marked by both triumphs and challenges, including a high-profile legal battle with his mother and stepfather over his earnings, which led to the establishment of the Coogan Act, designed to protect child actors' earnings.
