These are terrific. Do you know Alfie's cousin, Zachary Switzer? He is on FB and writing a book about Alfie, please join him there. They are an amazing family.

Those graphics are great! I forgot today was Alfie's birthday.
I was looking through this encyclopedia-like book I have about film obituaries. It said the only two rascals who have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame are Jackie Cooper and Spanky. That got me thinking. I may be a bit off for suggesting this, but I think Carl deserves a star on the HWOF. Though Spanky is included in said book but Alfalfa is not (grrr!), Alfie IS listed in the annual World Almanac, with his real first name listed before his rascal name. That could be one qualification. Mandy said that the only rascal who made more movies than him was Scotty Beckett. That could be another qualification for our Alfie. Finally, most of the negative things said about him thankfully seem to be subsiding. It takes years to get a star on the HWOF, but sometimes fan can vote (I believe that's what they did for The Three Sttoges who have one). I think this would be a wonderful thing for Carl's family, it would provide some closure. What does everyone think? Am I crazy for suggesting this?

But while I love Alfie, Spanky, and Jackie as much as the next person, I really feel that they shouldn't be the only ones to receive that honor. I think the whole Gang should get one star on the HWOF. The Dead Ends Kids got a joint star, and even the Muppets got one not too long ago. That way, each of the talented kids get that sort of recognition. |
