  1. Does anyone out there have a clue as to why this gorgeous kid stopped acting after only four pictures? Whatever happened to her? Is she still alive? I just saw her in the 1944 picture “Days of Glory”. She was absolutely terrific! It’s a damn shame she did only four movies!

    1. NaftaliG I'm afraid the worst might've happened 2 her. Foul Play.

      I'm also looking into another missing child star case from the 1940s. The mystery of Bobby Long, the boy who appeared in the 1947 movie-musical, It Happened in Brooklyn.

      He was Super SUPER Talented. A real prodigy. All of a sudden he disappeared a few months after the movie premiered. He and his family were Never mentioned again.

      I'm afraid this is a similar situation 4 Dena Penn.

    1. She vanished all right. And I'm afraid foul play was involved.

      Just the same as it might've happened 2 Bobby Long.
      The little boy from It Happened in Brooklyn (1947).

      I pray these kids weren't harmed. If at least only one of them were.
