Bartholomew was said to have been bitter over his lost fortune and his experiences in Hollywood, but by the early 1980s he was working as a producer for the soap opera As The World Turns.

By this time Bartholomew's success and level of fame had caused his parents to attempt to gain custody of him. Among his successes of the 1930s were Anna Karenina (1935), with Greta Garbo and Fredric March, Professional Soldier (1935) with Gloria Stuart, Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936) with Dolores Costello, Lloyds of London (1937) with Madeleine Carroll and Tyrone Power, and Captains Courageous (1937) with Spencer Tracy. The all-star film was a success and Bartholomew was cast in a succession of prestigious film productions with some of the most popular stars of the day. Selznick had already cast an American boy in the role, but after meeting Bartholomew realised that the character would benefit from being played by a British actor.
