Dick Moore papers
- "The Dick Moore collection contains photographs and clippings from the 1920s to 1940s, both of Moore and many other child actors who provided the material for Moore's published book, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star: But Don't Have Sex or Take the Car", (1984). Other research materials and manuscripts for this book are included as well as those for a second, unpublished book, "Kids on the Block", which was to be the real story of the make-believe world of Hollywood, seen through the eyes of its child movie stars. There are also taped interviews (reel to reel, cassette, and mini-cassette) and transcripts of interviews with 29 former child actors such as: Natalie Wood, Mickey Rooney, and Margaret O'Brien. The collection also includes a 16 mm copy of a film, "The Boy and the Eagle", produced for television and nominated for an Oscar."
