The Our Gang Curse

Hmmm... Actually, Spanky was played by George McFarland, not Robert Blake.

Discovered at age three, George "Spanky" McFarland became a regular in the Our Gang film series during the 1930's and 1940's.

Appearing in 95 film shorts during his eleven year tenure, "Spanky" played the role of the enterprising, take-charge kid. His mother is credited with giving him his memorable nickname of "Spanky" which originated from her repeated warnings of what he would get should he venture into trouble.

At the end of January 1994, "Spanky" received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, becoming the only Our Gang member to be awarded this honor.

Robert Blake played "Mickey" (Gubitosi).
