Terry Kilburn – Born in 1926, A Christmas Carol

English-American actor Terry Kilburn made his name as a child actor. And it’s always fun to wonder what would have become of him if he hadn’t relocated to the U.S. with his mother in 1937. Or if he was never scouted by a talent agent while rehearsing for a radio show.

We’ll never know what could have been because Kilburn became a household name at age 11 after playing ‘Tiny Tim’ in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer version of “A Christmas Carol.” Something about his doe-eyed expression always seemed to draw the audience in during each performance. But sadly, he withdrew into the woodwork after his final role in “Lolita.”
