Art restorer Mary Badham was, in the 1962 movie To Kill a Mockingbird, "Scout" (Jean Louise Finch) when she was 10.
The little girl from Alabama had never worked in movies prior to that time but did a fine job and became a lifelong friend of star Gregory Peck, who played her father, lawyer Atticus Finch in this excellent, powerful film that had an important social message regarding race relations.
Badham had a few minor roles thereafter but soon left acting.
