- Dean Stockwell, The Boy With Green Hair, 1947. Gray, the first Boy, fell victum to chicken pox. Stockwell, the second, finished the movie despite being ill – he was allergic to his green wig. At age 11, he was a tough little guy, enough s to refuse RKO boss Howard Hughes’ orders to spout pro-America dialogue that had less to do with the story than the fact the film was made by future blacklistees, director Joseph Losey and writer Ben Barzman.
