I enjoyed Jody´s love for yearling and the land scenes of the movie. My condolences to the family Ecclesiastes 3:11 mankind was created with eternity in our hearts. That´s why the sting of death hurts so bad.

I was a great admirer of his film, The Yearling. I had the pleasure of meeting him because of his wife lovely wife Katie. I was fortunate to get to know him when I interviewed him for my BACKSTAGE! With Barry and Kathy TV Show. He was a bright, articulate gentleman. Never did I dream we would become friends.

So sad to hear of the passing of Claude Jarman. I didn't know him, but my mother used to brag on his success as a child actor since they were both from the same Bordeaux neighborhood, which is a town just a few miles from downtown Nashville. My mom had several newspaper articles of Jarman that she'd saved for years. Coincidentally, My husband and I were good friends with former child actor and member of the Oak Ridge Boys, Steve Sanders, who played the same part as Jarman in the stage presentation of The Yearling.
