Who is the child actor that plays Michael Thursday O'Rourke in Fort Apache?

Answer 1

I would like to know the same thing I have done all kinds of research and all I can find is John Agar True he plays the character of MIchael O Rourke and Shirley Temple is the mother ( side point Shirley and John were married in real life and she was pregnant at the time with daughter Linda Susan Agar) At the end of the move there is a child MIchael Thursday ( her maiden name and in honor of her father) York ( in honor of John Waynes character) O Rourke There is a close up at the end of this child he looks to be about 2 years old I at first thought it was the same child actor as the one who played Little Ricky Ricardo He bears a resemblance but that actor ( Keith Thibedouax) was not born til 1950 and if this movie was released in 1948 probably filmed in 1947 or ao it cant be him Also there is no credits at the end of the movie like we have now that go into great detail Back then the credits came at the beginning of the movie and only credited the main actors director etc In fact I saw on IMBD that evidently John Ford did NOT give any credit to the majority of people on this film Henry Fonda and John Wayne were famous but not like they would become later and Shirley Temple was a big draw I am sure John Agar a NOBODY til he married her and after she divorced him made alot of films that were B or less in category and he was also a drunk and abused her so probably got black balled This movie was one of three made by Ford in quick succession in the same area and the last one was in color . So there is alot of information about these films but I still cant find out who the child is.....anyone knows please give the answer Thank you
