Mimi Gibson
- Actress
One of the hardest-working child actresses of the 1950s, Mimi Gibson
earned over $100,000 (in 1963 dollars) from appearances in 35 movies
and over 100 television shows. Her mother took her and her sister to
Los Angeles after her father's death when she was a baby. Her mother
lived off her acting income. When Mimi turned 18, she found out that all
her earnings were gone; by age 20 she had become very angry and she
skipped getting a college degree and got married to get away from her
mother. She reconciled with her mother a few years later but the
experience has bothered her ever since.
She is presently active in the Screen Actor's Guild and A Minor Consideration and has pushed for revisions in Coogan's Law that assures that actors retain a substantial portion of their income.
