Popular child star (1927–1959) best known from the Our Gang comedy serials until 1940. After Our Gang, he continued to appear in movies in various supporting roles. His nasty reputation and his typecasting made it difficult for him to find work. At the age of thirty-one, he was shot and killed in Los Angeles during an altercation over the reward money for a lost dog. The murder was ruled as justifiable homicide; Switzer had apparently pulled a knife on his attacker. Uncommon vintage glossy 5 x 7 photo of Alfalfa clad in western gear and strumming a guitar, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To my pal and friend Fulton from Alfalfa Switzer, Our Gang 1936.” In fine condition, with some scattered light surface marks.
