Mitzi Green is sort of a forgotten child actress nowadays, but she was a fairly well-known, if lower-tier, celebrity in the early-1930s, making films at Paramount and often being written up in movie magazines. She made an attempt at an adult comeback in the 1950s, starring in the short-lived tv-sitcom “So This is Hollywood.”

I forgot to add in my opening post that this was the biggest box office hit of 1930.

I saw her as an adult in an Abbott and Costello film called “Lost In Alaska”. I think I like her Becky Thatcher better than Ann Gillis’ in the more famous 1938 film version. Also, she, Coogan and the rest of the cast reteamed the following year for the sequel “Huckleberry Finn” but I’ve not yet found that one on the internet.
