History: Jaquelyn Dufton was a child actor under the name "Jacquie Lyn." She was reportedly introduced to Hal Roach by cowboy star Tim McCoy and made a member of the Little Rascals in Our Gang and costarred with Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in Pack Up Your Troubles. Her stay with the series was a brief span of only two shorts; Jacquie's father began to ask for too much money, ending her acting career. Her whereabouts afterward were a bit of a mystery, possibly because she was confused with Jackie Lynn Taylor, the young actress called in to replace her. She was subsequently located through the daughter of Stan Laurel's daughter, Lois, with whom she had been friends. Jacquelyn contacted Lois afterward and was an honored guest at a Sons of the Desert convention in Las Vegas. She passed away in 2002.
