This facts=packed video chronicles Stanley's journey from cherubic 1950s sitcom star to forgotten Hollywood tragedy cautioning about fleeting fame cycles. It covers his serendipitous start on Leave It to Beaver charming America as the lovable prankster Whitey through 6 seasons beside veteran kid star Jerry Mathers as Beaver. We explore Stanley's inability to transition into adult roles when the show ended in 1963 as he drowned post-fame blues through substance abuse and petty crimes.
The later decades are portrayed via Stanley's downward spiral into poverty, addiction, incarceration and obscurity - unrecognizable as the innocent mop-top rascal bringing joy to 1960s family living rooms. The video closes on the melancholic bookends of Stanley's life - the $500 per episode child actor dying in destitution on the same September day 54 years apart. His cost-prohibitive, unmarked grave for 13 years leaves viewers questioning support for discarded kid celebrities. This is the surreal, devastating journey of Stanley Fafara aka Whitey from peak stardom to rock bottom.
