==Roddy McDowall==
Born in England, Roddy McDowall had already been in several British films when his family moved to the United States to escape the Blitz.  His big break came when he was cast in ''My Friend Flicka''.  He is also well-known from his childhood for his role opposite, the then unknown  [[Elizabeth Taylor]] in ''Lassie Come Home''.

Eddie Fisher, in his autobiography ''Been There, Done That'' mentions Roddy McDowall partly because of the years of hatred Eddie had for Roddy.  They didn't always hate each other, as Eddie had first met Elizabeth at a party that Merv Griffin and Roddy threw in an apartment they were then sharing.  He states, "She spent most of the evening in a corner with her close friend [[Montgomery Clift]]....She was recently divorced from her first husband Nicky Hilton...." (pg 136)
