10. Bobby Driscoll
Bobby Driscoll, an acclaimed American actor, left an indelible mark through his performances in landmark Walt Disney Studios films such as “Song of the South” (1946), “So Dear to My Heart” (1949), and as the voice in “Peter Pan” (1953). He was also celebrated with an Academy Juvenile Award for his roles in “So Dear to My Heart” and “The Window.”
Despite his early success, Driscoll’s career diminished by the mid-1950s, leading to minor TV roles. His life took a darker turn with struggles against drug addiction and imprisonment. Post-incarceration, Driscoll ventured into the avant-garde art world, but his health deteriorated from ongoing substance misuse. Tragically, in 1968, he passed away in a deserted New York building, marking a poignant end to a once-stellar career.
