Scotty Beckett (Scott Hastings Beckett) (October 4, 1929 - May 10, 1968) was an American child actor. Born in Oakland, California, he first appeared in films as a regular in the Our Gang
short subjects series from 1934 to 1936. In the gang, Beckett played George "Spanky" McFarland's best friend and partner in mischief; his role was taken over by Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer in 1935 and Beckett left the series for features after that year.

Beckett became a prolific child and adult actor from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. His most notable role was playing Al Jolson as a teenager in The Jolson Story
(1948).

Beckett's later years were plagued by a number of problems: marriages, divorces, alcoholism, and drug abuse. He died of a barbiturate overdose on May 10, 1968.
