In 1935,his father died and his mother married A. B…,who was his business manager.When he wanted the money that he made as a child star in the 1920s,his mother and stepfather refused his request and Jackie filed suit for the approximately $4 million that he had made.He had no rights to the money he made as a child.Because of the public uproar,the California Legislature passed the Child Actors Bill,which would set up a trust fund for any child actor and protect his earnings.
