Sybil Jason
Born Sybil Jacobson
in Capetown, South Africa
on November 23, 1929
Sybil Jason made sixteen movies from the ages of eight to thirteen. Like Shirley Temple, she could sing and dance as well as act. Sybil signed initially with Warner Brothers and was their first child star. A few years later she signed with 20th Century Fox. Despite her charm and talent, she did not achieve Shirley Temple's success as both studios had hoped.
