VIRGINIA WEIDLER

Virginia Weidler was a juvenile actress in the 1930s and 1940s. After some parts as a toddler, she was signed by RKO in the mid 1930s as a pre-teen. She found great success at MGM when they paired her with Mickey Rooney after Judy Garland started making A pictures. Some of her movies include: The Philadelphia Story, Women, All This, and Heaven Too, Peter Ibbetson, Too Hot to Handle, Babes on Broadway, and Best Foot Forward in 1943, her final movie. She retired and married and had two children. Sadly, she passed away in 1968 at the age of 41 from a heart attack, after having been completely out of the public eye for many years (and it was revealed she had rheumatic fever as a child, which had weakened her heart).
