Trivia
British child actor of the 1930s.
The American child actor David Holt had originally been cast as the title character in The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, & Observation of David Copperfield the Younger (1935). But the film's producer, David O. Selznick, developed misgivings about having an American boy portray a quintessentially British boy. He replaced Holt with Bartholomew.
He was taught to lose his Irish accent and speak perfect English by the teachers at the Italia Conti school in London.
Retired from television work in 1991 due to the onset of emphysema.
He was considered for the dual roles of Prince Edward and Tom Canty in The Prince and the Pauper (1937).
