john leslie `` jackie '' coogan -lrb- october 26 , 1914 -- march 1 , 1984 -rrb- was an american actor who began his movie career as a child actor in silent films .
charlie chaplin 's film classic `` the kid '' -lrb- 1921 -rrb- made him one of the first child stars in film history .
many years later , he became known as uncle fester on the 1960s sitcom `` the addams family '' .
in the interim , he sued his mother and stepfather over his squandered film earnings and provoked california to enact the first known legal protection for the earnings of child performers , widely known as the coogan act .
