Best Performances by Juvenile Actresses
1) Tippy Walker in The World of Henry Orient
2) Hayley Mills in The Chalk Garden
3) Merrie Spaeth in The World of Henry Orient
4) Karen Doctrice in Mary Poppins
5) Phyllis Thaxter in The World of Henry Orient (probably the oddest selection in The Film Daily's polling history- Thaxter made her film debut in 1944 and played Spaeth's mother in Orient. She was no juvenile at the time (Thaxter was born in 1921). It's possible Thaxter was placed in the wrong category, but this is where she appears in the magazine's list for 1964).
