History: Scotty Beckett and his family moved to Los Angeles when he was three years old. The cherubic-faced boy caught the attention of a casting agent and made his first movie in the 1933 drama, "Gallant Lady," playing the younger version of a boy played by Dickie Moore, a former Our Gang star. He was interviewed for Our Gang in January 1934 and eventually worked with Dickie again in the 1947 motion picture, "The Dangerous Years," best known as the first film for Marilyn Monroe.
In Our Gang, Scotty wore an over-sized sweater and sideways baseball cap to emulate another child star, Jackie Coogan, in the Charlie Chaplin film "The Kid" fr

The Tragic Trajectory of Our Gang’s Scotty Beckett
I have no idea how Scotty Beckett (1929-1968) has fallen through the Travalanche cracks.

Scotty was one of the few kids in the Our Gang franchise to rival Spanky and Darla for cuteness, with those huge eyes, and that adorable character touch of the crooked, backwards baseball cap.
