Baby LeRoy

Baby LeRoy

Baby LeRoy (May 12 1932 - July 28 2001) was a child actor who appeared in films in the 1930s.

Born Ronald Le Roy Overacker in Los Angeles, California, Baby LeRoy's career began when he was less than a year old, co-starring with Maurice Chevalier in "A Bedtime Story", and ended with a cameo role as himself in "Cinema Circus" (1937). He is best known for his appearances in a number of W. C. Fields films, including "Tillie and Gus" (1933) and "It's a Gift" (1934).

A starring role in the 1940 film "The Biscuit Eater" was to have been his comeback, but an accident during filming forced the director to choose between recasting or holding up production until he recovered. The director chose to recast, and the film became one of Billy Lee's best-remembered roles.

The actor died in Van Nuys, California.
