The 100-year-old American actress passed away on October 23. She made her film debut in the 1938 adaptation of A Christmas Carol at age 13, playing Belinda Cratchit, as her parents, Gene and Kathleen Lockhart, played the Cratchit parents.
People quotes a 2014 interview that Lockhart did with the Ames Tribune:
“‘We used to perform it every Christmas at home for our dinner guests,’ she said. ‘“’So I had already appeared in it, with my parents, in our living room for many years prior to doing it for MGM.’ She said her family particularly loved that her first-ever words in a movie were ‘I know, I know — sausages,’ explaining, ‘It’s become a family joke, and we all shriek with laughter when we watch it now.’”
