Today, we celebrate that cute little girl from Little Rascals, Darla:

...or the heartwarming drama of episode #3 from the same year, when Darla is forced to choose between Alfalfa and Butch?
...or the controversy in 1936 (season 8, two-parter), when Darla quits the production of "Romeo and Juliet" because of Alfalfa's onion breath - a bitter battle that would lead to tensions on the set and affect their relationship for years to come.
Darla would be the subject of many modern-day culture references, such as the Chili Pepper's song "Purple Stain"...
"Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood" Darla, we celebrate you. :)
