2In 1935, his 'Buckwheat' character was at first androgynous, wearing pigtails. It only evolved into being called 'he' a year later.
3Started as a member of 'The Little Rascals' as a replacement for Matthew "Stymie" Beard.
4Had a speech impediment as a child.
5When introduced at a Little Rascals reunion in 1980, he received a spontaneous standing ovation. He was moved to tears. (He died 3 months later of a heart attack.)
6Later worked as a film lab technician at Technicolor in Hollywood for over 20 years.
7Has one son, Billy Jr.
8In 1990 the ABC program 20/20 (1978) was hoaxed into believing that Billy "Buckwheat" Thomas was alive and working as a grocery bagger in Tempe, Arizona. (Thomas actually died in 1980.) A segment broadcast October 5 with narrator Hugh Downs featured an impostor.
9Interred at Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood, California, USA.
