Jackie Coogan's greatest claim to fame was *NOT* his role in the Addams
Family tv series.  It was the California law (known as the Coogan Act) 
which requires independent
legal review of child performers' contracts and resulted from Coogan's
bankruptcy at a tender age when his mother and step-father "mishandled"
the funds Coogan received as one of the first child movie stars.
