Life
Jarman, the son of an accountant for the railroad, was one of the children who were famous in Hollywood overnight. At the age of 12, he was in 1946 after a nationwide casting for the feature film The Yearling committed. For his work he received the 1947 Juvenile Award, a special award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is equivalent to the Oscar.
His family, who moved to the success of her son to Hollywood, invested a lot to build this as a star, and let him teach in the private school of MGM. But the success that Jarman had in the first five years of his acting career did not last long. In the early 1950s, when Jarman came of age, the film offers decreased rapidly until they came to a halt in 1956. The Jarman family then moved back to Nashville, where he graduated from high school, and then attended Vanderbilt University. After his military service in the United States Navy tried Jarman at the beginning of the 1960s in vain again as an actor, and decided mid-1970s as an assistant director and film producer in the film industry to take root, but this was also not successful.
As an adult, Jarman worked as the director of film festivals, including the one in San Francisco. He also was briefly appointed as Director of the San Francisco Opera. Today Jarman takes only rarely public appearances, most recently as a guest at the Oscar ceremony in 2003.
Claude Jarman was married three times and is the father of seven children, five daughters and two sons.
