Talk:Margaret O'Brien

"rare television outing"
... and yet she has a star on the Walk of Fame for it. She is hardly known for TV, so it looks like another case where money and/or fame talked more than accomplishment in "awarding" a star. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.145.249 (talk) 03:36, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Because we wish we could give her two stars for film
Don't mess with Margaret O'Brien, dude. :> She was a major movie star in their golden age, everybody's ideal child or fantasy little sister. (And she could act. Watch her redeem a piece of fluff like The Canterville Ghost.) She had a "rare outing" doing original TV, perhaps, but her films made her a constant presence on TV right up to 1970. About then, the average home could afford a color TV, and every classic black and white film was exiled from it. I must have watched the Canterville Ghost ten times back when TV still showed black and white films. She was certainly a TV star during the black and white era.

correction in Filmography
I corrected an entry to Annabelle Lee 1974. See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139858/?ref_=ttcrv_crv_tt BuzzBloom (talk) 15:55, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

name change - Journey for Margaret
I disagree with the statement that O'Brien's first name was changed following the success of "Journey For Margaret". She is clearly listed in the opening credits as "Margaret O'Brien", which would indicate she had already been using the name before the film. (Before the "success" of the film, anyway.) Does anyone have a source for this claim? Elsquared (talk) 03:23, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
