Bobby Driscoll was a child actor from the 1940s to the 1960s. Some of his roles include: Walt Disney's Peter Pan (as the voice of Peter), Treasure island, and Song of the South. Unfortunately, he developed severe acne and was fired by Disney shortly before the release of Peter Pan in 1953. He passed away in 1968 at the age of 31. He was found in an abandoned tenement, and an autopsy concluded that he died of coronary artery disease. He was also a recovering drug addict who because of his past was deemed too risky to hire in show business. Driscoll was buried in a pauper's grave until he was identified a year later thanks to fingerprints.
