another genre of santa claus films seeks to dispel doubts about his existence. one of the first films of this nature was titled "a little girl who did not believe in santa claus" (1907) and involves a well-to-do boy trying to convince his poorer friend that santa claus is real. she doubts because santa has never visited her family because of their poverty. "miracle on 34th street" (1947), starring natalie wood as susan walker, revolves around the disbelief of young susan, whose mother (maureen o'hara) employs a kind old man (edmund gwenn, who won an academy award for best supporting actor) to play santa claus at macy's; he later convinces susan that he really "is" santa. "yes, virginia" (2009) is an animated holiday tv special based on the true story of a young girl, virginia o'hanlon, who writes a letter to the editor of the "new york sun" in 1897 after her friends tell her that there is no santa. the newspaper editor tells her that indeed there is a santa: "he lives, and he lives forever." francis pharcellus church was the real-life editor and is played by charles bronson in the special. "the polar express" (2004), based on the children's book of the same name, also deals with issues and questions of belief as a magical train conducted by tom hanks transports a doubting boy to the north pole to visit santa claus.
