   He has written an excellent autobiography “My Life and the Final Days of Hollywood”. VERY ENTERTAINING! He is a friend of my late father.

   Claude Jarman Jr. was a student at Eakin Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee when he was discovered. He was in the 5th or 6th grade and I was in the 3rd. I remember vividly the excitement around the school when we were told that he was going to be a “movie star”. Watched “The Yearling” last night and it brought back those memories

   Saw an episode of As Time goes by and saw Otto Jarman’s name. Remembered Claude Jarman Jr’s name from many years ago in my Film Albums reading about Claude Jarman Jr and wondered if they were related. Turns out that he is an English actor. Very blond like Claude. Anyway I am 82 and remembered Claude Jarman Jr and The Yearling from the Hollywood Film albums we had in England as a child & teen.

   I’ve just seen a photo of a fawn and immediately thought of the film .
   I am 75 and was always at the pictures when actors could act and you could understand the story.
   I wept buckets when I saw this film. I remembered straight away the name Claude Jarman jr as I always read my film books start to finish.
   I couldn’t tell you the last time I went to the Movies.

   My Granny had some photos of Claud when he was a kid and said he was family. she always had great stories to tell about him and I still have one picture of him probably just before he became famous I am sure. I also remember my Mother’s favorite place was Bell Buckle Tn. I have never checked on Ancestry.com either way he was a great actor and sounds like a great man from reading the post.

   My mother and other members of her family has special ties to Mr Jarmin and the film the Yearling. My mother whose maiden name was Thelda Henderson became friends with Claud. Moms father owned a fish camp across the Oklawaha river and she watched the scene where Jody got into the dugout and floated away after shooting Flag, his deer. He wore a pair of leather moccasins to look as tho he was barefooted. He gave those to my mom. My uncle had a Sawmill and provided the ruff CUT lumber for Jodys cabin. My wife’s uncle was Mr Pecks double. My wife’s great grandfather actually killed the bear Slewfoot. My wife’s uncle was to play Fodderwing but got sick. And lastly My wife’s grandmother was Mrs Lennon best friend who wrote the book The Yearling.

    I saw Claude Jarman on Sunday afternoon at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley after the showing of Intruder in the Dust. I believe this was his second film. http://bampfa.org/event/intruder-dust-0

    I did a service call at his travel agency office many years ago on Montgomery Street in San Francisco. He seemed to be a great guy!

    I worked for Claude Jarman Jr for a number of years at his travel agency in San Francisco “Jarman Travel”. We had a rather high end client base due to his connections. He kept his Oscar in his office and we all took turns having pictures taken with it when he was out of the office. Occasionally other past stars of Hollywood would walk into the office for a visit. He was a great boss, always pleasant and fair

    “Intruder in the Dust” from 1949, the year I was born, is a very good movie – even without Gregory Peck, star of the similarly themed movie “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Checked out the cast to reveal Claude Jarman, Jr. as “Chick” the young boy who overcame his own racism to help an innocent black man. What a fine strong actor! Apparently he’s an equally fine human being, now 80 years old.

    I’m sitting here at 7:30 AM on July 25th2014, watching Rio Grande. I knew immediately that the young man was someone I recognized, so I ran the name Jarman Jr and sure enough, The Yearling. Wow, I’ve seen Claude in a few movies and certainly am glad he is only 9 years older than I. God bless you Claude.

    Must have been in the early 50’s that Claude was playing football for the school he attended in Nashville. His school played our DuPont football team in Old Hickory, Tennessee. We girls gathered around for autographs which he readily gave us. I always wished I had kept mine safe but, alas, I lost it I guess when our house burned some years later. A special memory even without the autograph.

    Just saw The Yearling with my wife and son on
    dvd
    Gregory Peck played himself as always (and got an Academy Award nomination for his trouble), but Claude carried the show
    No wonder they created a juvenile Academy Award for him!

    In the mid 1960’s, a group of people walked up my parents driveway in a relatively exclusive area of the Napa Valley. In talking with them, one of the people introduced himself as Claude Jarman. Apparently he had purchased a house in the area, and was out for a walk with a group of friends when he happened upon our house. I remember immediately seeing the resemblence between this man, and the character in the film, “The Yearling.” He stayed in the neighborhood for several years, and would commute to San Francisco where he held a job in city government.
