Darryl Gerard Hickman (July 28, 1931 – May 22, 2024)
Darryl Hickman, who started his career in Hollywood as a child
star before going on to appear in more than 40 movies, has died
at the age of 92. His family confirmed that Hickman died on
Wednesday. In one of his biggest roles he played Winfield, the
youngest member of the Joad family in John Ford’s film adaption
of The Grapes Of Wrath (1940) when he was just eight-years-old.
In 1951, he briefly retired from acting to enter a monastery, but
returned to Hollywood a little over a month later. His younger
brother, Dwayne Hickman, was the star of the comedy The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis.
