Charlie from Willy Wonka–Where is He Now?
Yesterday as I watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory I began to wonder what ever happened to each of the children. I specifically wanted to know what ever became of Veruca because she was a pretty girl and I thought she would probably be most likey to go on to do more acting. I thought it would be fun to write about the former chld actors and actresses here. Today I update you on CHARLIE. I got my information from the Internet Movie Data Base.
Peter Ostrum was born on November 1, 1957. One would think that he would have gone on to do several more pictures but it was just the contrary. Although Peter Ostrum loved making the film he had no desire to pursue acting. He did not want to follow in the footsteps of Gene Wilder, he wanted to return to school and be a regular kid. He was offered a three picture contract after making Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory but he turned it down. Today, Peter Ostrum is married and the father of two children. His career? A veterinarian of large farm animals in upstate New York. He considered returning to acting when a prized role came up and he tried out for the part of Equus on Broadway which he did not get.
Unmetered—LOL I tried to email you and apparently you haven’t gotten it. To answer questions: You are definitely becoming a top contributer, Yes I write my own articles and no I don’t think it “looks” better to use complicated punctuation marks. Most people don’t pay attention to the punctuation so you must be either an English Teacher or editor of some sort if you noticed that I used them. No, I don’t write down ideas, or proofread and then post. I write as I go and then edit if necessary. I really should edit more than I do. Yes, I have feedburner on the site—scroll up and on the right side of the page there is a little box between the blinking buttons. Simply add your email and then feedburner will send you an email and ask you to confirm that you want to receive my updates. Confirm the feed and you will get updates. AND now for my question to you: Why do you keep reading and commenting on the same article? I have others to entertain and engage you =) Look through the catagories and see what strikes your fancy. If Informative articles are what you are looking for, you can read my other articles like THIS one over at HUBPAGES.com. I write under the name Cheryl Anne Nelson =) . I believe I have a few of the other Willy Wonka articles over there. Thanks so much for visiting again and again and again. Come back tomorrow. =) AND CLICK ON EVERYTHING! Hmmm.. maybe I will transfer the Wonka articles over here since I know you like them so much.
God Bless,
