Eugene "Pineapple" Jackson
Eugene Jackson became a child star in 1924, playing "Pineapple" of the original Our Gang comedy shorts. But that was just the beginning of a long show business career that included vaudeville, film, and television, as well as cross-country touring with his own band, the Jackson Trio. Now in his eighties and living in California, Jackson continues to teach tap and to appear in film and television roles.
