Before Netflix & YouTube: The Child Stars Who Lit Up The Screens Of Yesteryear

Robby Benson

At just 11 years old, Robby Benson charmed audiences with his role in the 1967 TV series “Soap Opera.” His big break came a few years later in the 1972 film “Jory.” Although he didn’t collect major awards as a youngster, Robby became a teen heartthrob.

Fast forward to now, he’s not just an actor but a director, screenwriter, and college professor. Remember the Beast’s voice in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”? Yep, that’s him! Robby also penned several successful novels. He’s a true Renaissance man, blending talent and heart in everything he does, both on and off the screen.
