How It Came To Be
This website came to be when I restored the inactive domain: bobbydriscoll.net. I took the domain over and completely made this website from scratch after years of not being used (approx. since 2009). I became aware of the website when it was active in the late 2000s, which is how I became familiar with Bobby Driscoll.
Our Mission
This website aims to give the public knowledge and extensive research chronicling Bobby’s life and career.
This website also intends for Bobby’s multimedia works to be archived and showcased in one place for the public to view.
Bobby's Personal Quotes
“I have found that memories are not very useful. I was carried on a silver platter and then dumped into the garbage can.”
