    George 'Spanky' McFarland (1928 - 1993) - filmography

    Discovered at age three, George "Spanky" McFarland became a regular in the Our Gang film series during the 1930's and 1940's.

    Appearing in 95 film shorts during his eleven year tenure, "Spanky" played the role of the enterprising, take-charge kid. His mother is credited with giving him his memorable nickname of "Spanky" which originated from her repeated warnings of what he would get should he venture into trouble.

    At the end of January 1994, "Spanky" received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, becoming the only Our Gang member to be awarded this honor.

    Summary of his filmworks:

    The Aurora Encounter (1986) Moon Runners (1974) I Escaped from the Gestapo (1943) Benjamin Franklin, Jr. (1943) Wedding Worries (1941) Bubbling Trouble (1940) Alfalfa's Aunt (1939) Men in Fright (1938) Mail and Female (1937) Arbor Day (1936) Mama's Little Pirates (1934) The Kid from Borneo (1933) Birthday Blues (1932) Spanky (1932)

    New (Hal) Roach discovery George "Spanky" McFarland joined the gang late in 1931 at the age of three and, excepting a brief hiatus during the summer of 1938, remained an Our Gang actor for the next eleven years. At first appearing as the tag-along toddler of the group, and later finding an accomplice in Scotty Beckett in 1934, Spanky quickly became Our Gang's biggest child star. He won parts in a number of outside features, appeared in many of the now-numerous Our Gang product endorsements and spin-off merchandise items, and popularized the expressions "Okey-dokey!" and "Okey-doke!"[11]
