David Ladd is a former child actor and producer who has largely stepped away from the spotlight. He is the son of the famous actor Alan Ladd and actress and producer Sue Carol. After a successful career as a child actor in the 1950s and 1960s, he transitioned to roles behind the camera in Hollywood.
David Ladd was born on February 5, 1947, in Los Angeles, California. He made his acting debut at the age of five in the film “The Big Land” in 1957, starring alongside his father, Alan Ladd. He went on to appear in several films throughout his childhood and teenage years, including “The Proud Rebel” (1958), “Misty” (1961), and “A Dog of Flanders” (1960).
As he grew older, Ladd shifted his focus from acting to film production. He worked as an executive and producer for several companies, including MGM and Pathe Entertainment. His production credits include the 1991 film “The Serpent and the Rainbow” and the 2003 film “A Guy Thing.”
Despite his early fame, David Ladd has maintained a relatively low profile in recent years. He has not appeared in films or television shows for some time and has kept his personal life private. It is not uncommon for former child actors to move away from the entertainment industry as they grow older, and Ladd appears to have chosen a life away from the public eye.
