Sad news has struck the world of Hollywood as beloved former child star, Darryl Hickman, has passed away at the age of 92. Known for his roles in iconic films such as the 1940 release of Grapes of Wrath, Hickman's talent and charm captivated audiences for decades.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hickman's family shared the news of his passing through an online obituary. It was revealed that the actor, who also starred in the 1945 movie Leave Her To Heaven and made appearances on the popular 90s TV series The Nanny, passed away on Wednesday in Montecito, California.
Born and raised in Hollywood in 1931, Hickman's acting career began at a young age when he signed a contract with Paramount in 1937.

The film received seven Oscar nominations and won two for Best Director and Best Supporting Actress.
