Terry Kilburn – 97-Years-Old, A Christmas Carol

Originally from London, Terry Kilburn moved with his family to Hollywood in the late 1930s. He quickly began working as a child actor, gaining recognition for his roles in films like *Goodbye, Mr. Chips* and *A Christmas Carol*. Kilburn retired from acting after a 1969 appearance on *Get Smart* and went on to serve as the artistic director of Meadow Brook Theatre at Oakland University. Now 97, Kilburn enjoys a quiet life in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
