| 1 | I felt I had let [my fans] down by not remaining a child. They'd be dying to meet me and yet I could see their faces fall when I walked into the room. What do you say to someone whose fantasy has just been disturbed? |

One-time Hal Roach talent agent, Joe Rivkin, who discovered Darla as a child, saw the cover and cast her in her first adult role in a movie. She acted as a secretary, in Vincent Price's cult horror classic movie, The Bat (1959). Vincent Price had the leading role. |
| 3 | Claimed that her parents never gave her a penny of the earnings she made from the "Our Gang" shorts. |
| 4 | Initially tutored on the Roach Studio lot by a Mrs. Alma Rubens, the series was later sold to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and the gang then attended the famous "little red schoolhouse" on the MGM lot. |
| 5 | After she grew up, fans who requested an autographed photo seemed disappointed when they received a current shot, so she sent out newly signed photos from her "Our Gang" days instead. |
