Among his most notable appearances were the Our Gang series and films such as Oliver Twist, Blonde Venus, Sergeant York and Out of the Past.

Biography

Dickie Moore débute au cinéma à moins d'un an, dans le film muet The Beloved Rogue d'Alan Crosland, sorti en 1927, où il est François Villon bébé (personnifié adulte par John Barrymore). Son troisième film est Madame X de Lionel Barrymore (1929, avec Ruth Chatterton et Lewis Stone).

La suite de sa filmographie (comprenant près de cent films américains en tout) se situe majoritairement dans les années 1930, donc durant son enfance. En particulier, il contribue à huit courts métrages réalisés par Robert F. McGowan, sortis en 1932 et 1933, de la série cinématographique Les Petites Canailles (ex. : Birthday Blues en 1932, avec Stymie Beard).

Il poursuit toutefois sa carrière au grand écran adolescent et jusqu'à vingt-six ans, ses deux derniers films sortant en 1952 (dont The Member of the Wedding de Fred Zinnemann, avec Ethel Waters et Julie Harris). Parmi ses autres films notables, citons Mon grand de William A. Wellman (1932, dans le rôle de Dirk De Jong, repris adulte par Hardie Albright), Peter Ibbetson d'Henry Hathaway (1935, avec Gary Cooper dans le rôle-titre adulte, lui-même l'interprétant enfant), Sergent York d'Howard Hawks (1941, avec Gary Cooper et Walter Brennan), ou encore Pendez-moi haut et court de Jacques Tourneur (1947, avec Robert Mitchum et Jane Greer).

Pour la télévision, Dickie Moore contribue à sept séries dans les années 1950, dont Lux Video Theatre (deux épisodes, 1951-1953) et Omnibus (un épisode, 1957), où il tient son ultime rôle. Il revient néanmoins au petit écran à partir de 1988, mais seulement pour quelques apparitions comme lui-même.

Cette même année 1988, il se marie en troisièmes noces avec l'actrice Jane Powell (née en 1929).

Son père, veuf, accaparé par la direction sa petite entreprise, laisse Frankie à la garde de Berenice Sadie Brown, la gouvernante, qui est également chargée de soigner son propre frère adoptif, Honey Camden, en qui se résume toute sa famille.
