Kurt Russell the child actor

[TheDuck]

After sending off an email; to a website where they have photos and a little info about child actors, reminding them of Kurt Russell. I got thinking, how many of you know that Kurt Russell was a child actor?

He was contracted to Walt Disney to do a series of movies.

When as a border at SACS jnr school, in its heyday, we used to have movies from a projector every Saturday night shown on the wall of the study.

I was to see many memorable movies there and have now decided to try get those movies on DVD for our children.

There was a period where really great Walt Disney movies were made aimed at children.

Kurt Russell appeared in quite a number of them .. just a few

Follow Me, Boys!
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
The Strongest Man in the World

memory lane and birthdays go hand in hand
