    I intend to solve the mystery of Bobby Long before or even between the 73rd & 75th anniversaries of It Happened in Brooklyn.
    Bobby finally deserves to have his story told. And maybe his unfinished business was to be in the next BIG movie musical in Technicolor. The movie that could've landed his way to stardom and marked his legacy in history.
    I'm going to make the attempt to bring his story to the Big screen and it's going to be the Best Movie that Bobby had always dreamed of being in. Natch!*

      If only he had the chance to meet Donald O'Connor. But it seems like he didn't. But I do know he was a fan of Fred Astaire & Gene Kelly. And maybe he did get to meet either one of them.
      For all I know that poor kid didn't get the chance to perform in a Technicolor musical. A name like his wouldn't be considered a porn star's name unless you know where the gender belongs too.
      Don't you dare disrespect this kid's memory. For all we know he might've been murdered. And if not, he would be 85 years young and probably would still have the same swagger he had as a kid.

      Look ever since Coronavirus hit the world economy, everything was put on hold. Including my investigation. So now I have to wait until probably next year until I can find the real answers before the 74th anniversary of IHIB (It Happened in Brooklyn)
      And I think the answers could be in the one place where it all began: Brooklyn*

      Black Mishima: This is Bobby Long* (As it says on the title card)
      And he was beyond talented* He really wanted to be star* But since this was the only movie where he got to show off all his talents, he never got the opportunity to be in the next big musical movie in Technicolor. Sad but true.
      I'm afraid his dreams and his life were stolen from him. I'm going to finally solve his mystery. Like it should have been done All those years ago.

    Whatever became of Bobby Long, the boy tap-dancer here? You wonder about someone like him, talented, good-looking, then he vanished after this one movie, although someone mentioned a "Robert Long" who appeared in "Rodeo Rhythm (sounds like a musical short) from 1942. Bobby, where are you?

    • @gabrielvidrio3210
      @gabrielvidrio3210 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sandaglad: I suspect the worst might have happened to him and his family...
      I think Bobby was murdered out of spite or jealousy at the idea that a kid as talented as him would be considered a threat when it comes to seeking fame at the time.
      So whoever was mad at Bobby carried a vendetta on him and also hired some "higher" help to make him "disappear" without a trace. So that they wouldn't have to deal with "competitive" celebrity status. Same as they did to his parents.
      No reports, no witnesses, no problemo.
      I hope I'm wrong. But it seems highly and I mean Highly possible.

      In case you haven't noticed, FYI, I am the 1st one in 73 years to finally investigate what really happened to Bobby Long.
      He was just an innocent little boy with Crazy Talent and a charming personality who's dream (like many) was to simply make it as a Star.
      I believe it was all stolen from him. Not just his dreams, but his Very life. And whoever was responsible obviously made sure that his existence and his legacy were Wiped Out from history.
      Making sure that no one would ever know or even investigate what happened to him.
      This really matters to me because people like him who had the opportunity to shine on the big screen once and disappear the next don't deserve to be wiped out from history.
      Don't you understand.
      I could have a chance to give Bobby Long's life a happy ending at Long Last.

      ​@@gabrielvidrio3210 if so, how awful. And crazy, given the many other tap dance stars, including children up-and-comer performers, to whom that didn't happen. The arts are richer for their variety, as of performing acts and actors; "the more, the merrier." And as each performer is uniquely themself, no risk of usurping another performer's look, personality and talents.

      And I found out more about Bobby Long than U can believe 🌟🤴💖
      He was 14 when he worked in the movie & 15 when it premiered (and when he "disappeared") 👤
      Just before he went on tour 2 promote the movie, Bobby was outraged at the fact that MGM Studios didn't pay him the right amount that he was promised from his work in the movie. And another young actress felt the same, Barbara Challis, joined Bobby in the suit that lasted until February of 47 💖
      Bobby & Barbara won $146,000 (that would be the equivalent of $14,000,000 today I guess) and they called it square and split the money 💰🤑💰
      Something tells me that Bobby may have had a crush on Barbara Challis (of course she was attractive) and they may have had a 'fling' together 💏
      I only wonder if any of that had 2 do with his disappearing (along with his family) otherwise something or someone convinced him into giving up his dreams @ stardom 🌟🤴🏻💖
