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.

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.
