Darla Jean Hood ( born November 8, 1931 in Leedey, Oklahoma, † June 13, 1979 in Hollywood, California ) was an American film actress and voice actress.
Life
Darla Hood, daughter of a banker and a housewife, was in a hotel in New York's Times Square in 1935 discovered by a talent scout from Hal Roach, who took the same under contract. The seven- year contract secured her an income of $ 75 per week. As Darla in The Little Rascals, it is still always black and white film connoisseurs a term.
When the series was discontinued in 1941, although they got less role offers, yet she tried it as a voice in some cartoons, albeit with limited success. 1959 was her last role in The Bat, a thriller starring Vincent Price as the main character, offered. After that, she only appeared in commercials.
Hood was married twice. Her first marriage with the insurance salesman Robert W. Decker held only two years, from 1955 until 1957. With her second husband, Jose Granson, head of a recording studio, whom she married in 1957, she had three children.
In June 1979, she died after a relatively minor operation at the age of only 47 years of hepatitis.
