Career
Musicals
Sales' first glimpse of fame came in 1946 at the age of seven, when he was cast on Irving Berlin's Annie, Get Your Gun (1950) as "Little Jake," who was Ethel Merman's little brother.[3][4] His mother, Julius Sales, heard about the auditions after her neighbor read in the newspaper that the musical was looking for a freckle-faced boy with red hair. She then brought Clifford to the Imperial Theatre, where he was hired on the spot after performing "Jack and Jill." The theatre writing team of Rodgers and Hammerstein declared that Clifford was "a typical American boy." After the hiring, Sales moved from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, to Midtown Manhattan to become a professional child actor.[5][6] He was shortly replaced in the role by Bobby Hookey after Rodgers and Hammerstein wanted an actor with more experience.[7][8] He later took roles in Topaze (1947), ''The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden'' (1948), As the Girls Go (1948-1950), and ''Cry of the Peacock'' (1950).[9]
