The story about Bobby Driscoll is sad a sad one. Best known as the voice of the beloved Disney character Peter Pan, Driscoll got his start early. The early beginning only meant more chances for things to wrong, and that’s what happened.

He went to jail for illegal drug use. That stigma then followed him, making it hard for Driscoll to land any roles in Hollywood. He died broke at 31 and was found with no identification in New York. He was interred in an unmarked grave.
