Timeline

1923

She was the second Weidler child born in the United States after the family emigrated from Germany in 1923.

1927

Virginia Anna Adeleid Weidler (March 21, 1927 – July 1, 1968) was an American child actress, popular in Hollywood films during the 1930s and 1940s.

Weidler was born on March 21, 1927, in the Eagle Rock section of Los Angeles, California, the youngest of six children born to German parents, Alfred Weidler, an architect, and Margaret Weidler (born Margarete Therese Louise Radon, 1890–1987), a former opera singer.

1931

She made her first film appearance in 1931.

1934

Her first credited role was as Europena in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch (1934), a role she won at age seven after having been seen in the play Autumn Crocus.

Virginia made a big impression on audiences as the little girl who would "hold my breath 'til I am black in the face" to get her way.

1935

For the next several years, she appeared in many memorable films from George Stevens's Laddie (1935) to a pivotal supporting role in Souls at Sea (1938) starring Gary Cooper and George Raft.

Despite being under contract to Paramount, just as many of her roles of the period took place while on loan to RKO-Radio Pictures.

1938

When Paramount did not extend her contract, she was signed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1938.

Her first film for MGM was with its leading male star Mickey Rooney in Love Is a Headache (1938).

The film was a success and Weidler was later cast in larger roles.

1939

She was one of the all-female cast of the 1939 film The Women, as the daughter of Norma Shearer's character.

1940

Her next major success was The Philadelphia Story (1940) in which she played Dinah Lord, the witty younger sister of Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn).

1943

Her film career ended with the 1943 film Best Foot Forward.

At her retirement from the screen at age 16, she had appeared in more than 40 films, and had acted with some of the biggest stars of the day, including Clark Gable and Myrna Loy in Too Hot to Handle, Bette Davis in All This and Heaven Too, and Judy Garland in Babes on Broadway.

Virginia had three brothers and two sisters.

Her brothers Warner (born Werner), Walter (born Wolfgang), and George were successful musicians after some child-acting work, eventually owning their own recording studio.

1946

George was married to singer-actress Doris Day from 1946–49 (his first marriage, her second).

Her sisters, Sylvia (born Waltraud) and Renee (born Verena), also were involved in show business prior to their marriages.

Her father turned his architectural skills into a career building miniature sets for 20th Century Fox.

1947

On March 27, 1947, aged 20, Weidler married Lionel Krisel.

After her retirement, Weidler gave no interviews for the remainder of her life.

1968

She was married to Krisel until her death at age 41 at her Los Angeles home on July 1, 1968.

She had suffered from a heart ailment for many years and died of a heart attack.

While not the box-office draw of Fox's Shirley Temple or Jane Withers, Virginia Weidler still has a loyal following to this day.

2012

In 2012, the Virginia Weidler Remembrance Society was created to honor her life and career.

2017
