Darryl Hickman – 89

Darryl Hickman was picked up by Paramount agents back in 1939, who instantaneously gave him a spot on ‘The Star Maker’. His performance stunned the industry, and especially Bing Crosby who wanted the young man to make history in showbiz. As Hickman grew older, he drifted away from acting claiming that he needed therapy. Hickman exclaimed criticism on fostering children to be child actors following that. Hickman spent the rest of his career working as a producer and director and retired in the late 80’s. Hickman actually took a 17 year long hiatus from the film industry back in 1976, and he returned with a minor role in Network, as ‘Bill Heron’.
