Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star Movie
TV child star of the '70s, Dickie Roberts is now 35 and parking cars.

Several folk who are also involved in Dickie's special world include: Sidney, Dickie's longtime friend and agent; Cyndi, his on-again, off-again girlfriend; Peggy, Dickie's real mother; George, Dickie's adopted father figure; and Grace, his adopted mother figure.
