Tommy Tucker became an American celebrity in the 1940s, appearing before children and at war-bond events in specially made clothes. A 1944 LIFE photo session featured thirty outfits. By 1945, his fan club had around thirty thousand members.
The costumes and membership numbers were large for such a small performer.
