4. Billy “Froggy” Laughlin
Billy Laughlin only joined the Our Gang cast for its final stretch, but that didn’t stop him from leaving an impression. Though his beloved character made him a child star, he only went on to appear in one other production, Johnny Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. Laughlin voluntarily left show business to live a normal adolescence — one that was unfortunately cut short. Laughlin died at the young age of 16 after a truck struck his scooter while he was delivering newspapers.
