Life

Little is known about the origin of Bobby Hutchins. According to his fellow actor Jackie Cooper, however, Hutchins was raised by a father who wanted to make his son under all circumstances to stardom. Also, as told Cooper, Hutchins had had little contact with other children, and was even beaten by his father.

Hutchins was already at the age of two years, in 1927, in his first film The Little Rascals, the 20-minute silent film Baby Brother in front of the camera. Nicknamed Wheezer, who joined on his stormy temperament on the set, Hutchins soon became very well known. Hutchins was then up to the age of eight in 85 episodes of the Little Rascals in front of the camera until it came to the 1933 Off with Pie for Two.

After the divorce of their parents Hutchins and his mother moved from California back to Washington State, where Hutchins in his hometown of Tacoma attended school, and in 1943 obtained his degree at the College.

In August of the same year he enlisted in the United States Army, but most of the time was used in the office. For active participation in hostilities overseas it did not. 1944 Hutchins began his training as a pilot and was stationed in Merced ( California). During his last flight hours on 17 May 1945 disaster struck, as Hutchins, who was already at that time alone in his cockpit, with his Martin B-26 crashed on the airport of Merced. Hutchins - only 20 years old - was dead on the spot

His body was then transferred to Seattle, where he is buried today.
