Auction History Result 3p177 LITTLE COLONEL Italian 1p '60 Nano art of teenager Joselito on rearing white horse! Date Sold 9/9/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) El pequeno coronel (released in English-speaking countries as "The Little Colonel"), the 1960 Antonio del Amo Spanish family musical action adventure (a wild story about a teen boy who grows up like David Copperfield, is kidnapped by thieves, and "rescued" by seven brigands who are out of Ali Baba, but who behave like the seven dwarfs from Snow White!) starring Joselito, Tomas Blanco, Fernando Sancho, Maria Mahor, and Jesus Tordesillas. Note that Joselito was born in 1943 as Jose Jimenez Fernandez, and in 1956, he was "discovered" and starred in a movie called "The Little Nightingale", where he played a child with an angelic voice, and he became a huge hit, and was nicknamed after the movie. He was 13 at the time, but his manager lied and told everyone he was 9! Over the next few years, he appeared in more movies, and his manager kept trying to conceal his true age, which naturally grew more difficult to do, and also kept him from girls by locking him in his dressing room! Eventually, he became a heroin addict and retired from movies. Years later, he tried to make a comeback, but he did not resemble the child he was and did not have the voice he had, so it was not successful. He lives a reclusive life in Spain, but thankfully he is clean and sober! This is one more example of a child actor whose success did not help him in his later life at all.
