BABY LeROY (Paramount Player)
This is the biography of Baby LeRoy, who can't say "I remember
when"
Born May 12, 1932 in Los Angeles, little LeRoy became filmdom' s most famous baoy when Paramount studies conducted a far-flung contest for orphaned or half -orphaned infants. There was need for a child who resembled Maurice Chevalier in "A Bedtime Story." And he was the baby.
Although the appropriate nic.cname of "Baby" is his only means of identity on the Paramount lot, his mother's mail box reads winebrenner . . But he won't be LeRoy Winebrenner until his good right arm starts throwing baseballs, by accident through convenient windows. Th-^t will be another five years or so, because Paramount has signed the child to a seven-^ear contract.
His vocabulary, now, is increasing rapidly and his footwork is steady and sure. His accomplishments , as biographical dita goes, are not mary, but he has made thousands of people laugh.
His rewird from Paramount for turning up as the Chevalier bar>y consists of in insurance policy and the guarantee of -i college education. After graduation his mother hopes he becomes an engineer but there are many who predict no bridge building for young LeRoy. Seasnned critics predict he will be one of America's best-Known performers long before that time, with a rich future in motion pictures.
His pictures for Paramount: A BEDTIME STORY, TORCH SINGER, TILLIE AND GUS, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, MISS FANE'S BABY IS STOLEN, THE OLD-FkSHIOHSD . WAY, THE LEMON DROP KID, IT'S A GIFT, IT'S A GREAT LIFE.
