À propos de cet audio
At the age of two, Mimi began working as a child actress, sharing the screen with the some of the legends from the Golden Age of Hollywood: Cary Grant, Sophia Loren, John Wayne, Loretta Young, Jane Wyman, Dorothy McGuire and many, many more. This is a tale of the kid-actors filming on the sound stages of 1950s Hollywood, kid-actors playing their parts in a very adult world, learning hard lessons with sometimes life-altering consequences.
Unlike many kid-actors, Mimi retired at 20, got out and left Tinsel Town. But, never forgetting her experiences at work on set, she later came out of her Movie-business retirement to take care of unfinished business. She and other ex-kid-actors returned to Hollywood, this time to start a movement to improve the working conditions and contracts of today’s kid-actors. As part of the Young Performers Committee, Mimi saw the passage of two labor bills benefiting and protecting the kids who work in “the business.”
From Cecil B. DeMille’s backlot to the California State Legislature, Mimi Gibson tells it like it is!
