Norman "Chubby" Chaney was a beloved child actor in the "Our Gang" series, also known as "The Little Rascals." Born on October 18, 1914, in Cambridge, Maryland. Chaney's life took a dramatic turn when he won a nationwide contest to replace Joe Cobb in the popular film series.
At just 3'11" and 113 pounds, Chaney's charming personality and comedic timing made him an instant hit. He went on to appear in 19 films between 1929 and 1931, including classics like "Railroadin'," "Boxing Gloves," and "Love Business."
However, Chaney's time in the spotlight was short-lived. As he entered adolescence, his weight increased significantly, reaching 300 pounds, and he was eventually dropped from the show. Despite his struggles with weight, Chaney's determination shone through. He underwent treatment for a glandular ailment at Johns Hopkins Hospital, which led to a remarkable weight loss of over 190 pounds.
Tragically, Chaney's life was cut short when he died of myocarditis at just 21 years old. For 76 years, his grave remained unmarked until a fundraiser organized by Detroit rock musician MIKAL raised $4,500 for headstones for Chaney and his mother

Logan's Run (1976)
Watching: "Logan's Run." I like the skimpy dresses with no undergarments.
