James Darren was talent personified. Yes, he was one of my crushes when I was young but I had many between the years of 1954-1975. I was lucky to live here in the San Fernando Valley from 1961 til the present time as I was able to meet some of my teen crushes and now I am just about to turn 78 in October and all my teen and adult crushes are gone now and I still have the memories. 😇😇💔💔❤❤❤❤

James Darren, an actor, director and singer who starred in "Gidget" and "TJ Hooker," died Monday September 2, 2024. He was 88. Darren had a lengthy resume spanning across film and television starting as early as 1956. But his breakout role as Moondoggie in the 1959 movie "Gidget" helped him reach heartthrob status in the eyes of teenage moviegoers.

Talk about people who should have become bigger stars - James Darren, Warren Berlinger, Michael Callan, and Tuesday Welds (also in the clip) should all have been much bigger. The nice thing is that they are all still around in 2022, over 60 years since this film.

Wow excellent clip. James Darren was such a smooth singer and an actor. When I was a kid the first time I had seen him was on the 60's Sci Fi TV show from Irwin Allen called The Time Tunnel. Later I found out her had a singing career and appeared in movie like Gidget. Later he was on the William Shatner TV crime drama T J Hooker as a handsome cop. He also attended celebrity autograph conventions.

Good movie BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG (Columbia, 1960) released in May 1960, starring Dick Clark as a high school teacher, with James Darren, Michael (Mickey) Callan, Elizabeth Shaw, and Bobby Rydell on the soundtrack singing "Swingin' School" released as a single that month also. The theme music was released as a hit single by Duane Eddy and his Rockin' Rebels in June 1960.
