Jackie Coogan: America's First Child Superstar

By Leslie Wolfson

America has had its share of child actors. But who was the very first child super star? Silent film icon Charlie Chaplin discovered Jackie in a vaudeville show at age four; at age five he co-starred in Chaplin's film The Kid, and became an instant celebrity. Jackie was the first child actor who was so famous, that movies were built around him as the star. Like many modern child actors, he lived a life of fame, wealth, and misfortune. And like all kids, he grew up.
