An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10 3/4" x 13 3/4" [27 x 35 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) A Bedtime Story, the 1933 Norman Taurog romantic love triangle man-stuck-with-abandoned-baby musical ("Don't go to bed, girls. Because you won't sleep after you hear Maurice Chevalier tell A Bedtime Story"; a wild story about playboy Maurice Chevalier who is engaged, but still wants to play around, and then he is given Baby LeRoy to take care of, and that interferes with his plans!) starring Maurice Chevalier, Helen Twelvetrees, Edward Everett Horton, Adrienne Ames, Baby LeRoy (as Monsieur Baby), Betty Lorraine, Gertrude Michael, Earle Foxe, and Leah Ray. Note that this movie marked Baby LeRoy's entrance into show business, and he was just 6 months old when the film was filmed (not only could he not sign a contract, because he was underage, but his 16 year-old mother was also underage, and his grandfather had to sign his contract!). He was born Ronald Le Roy Overacker, and he appeared in a total of nine movies over the next two years, and is best remembered for his movies with W.C. Fields: It's a Gift, The Old Fashioned Way, and Tillie and Gus. He basically retired at the age of 4 in 1936. In 1940, it looked like he would have a "comeback" at the age of 8 when he was cast in the lead of "The Biscuit Eater", but he became ill during filming a water stunt, and he was quickly replaced by Billy Lee, with the promise from Paramount that he would get another movie, but he never did. He lived until 2001, passing away at the age of 69, without ever making another movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful Paramount candid still (which measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4" [27 x 35 cm], and has not been trimmed) has a great snipe on the back explaining about the image on the front.
