Wesley Barry
Wesley Barry (August 10, 1907 – April 11, 1994) was an American actor, director, and producer. Barry began his career as a child actor in silent motion pictures and later became a producer and director of both film and television. As a director, he was sometimes billed as Wesley E. Barry. Early life and career Born in Los Angeles, Barry was seven years old when a young director -- attracted by his facial features -- noticed Barry and put him to work at the old Kalem Studios. He was not noted for his freckles until Marshall Neilan cast him in ''Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm'', with his freckles uncovered (earlier producers had insisted that all subjects cover facial blemishes with grease paint). Soon, Barry became a star in his own right, and 1920's '' Dinty'' put him over with great success. Later screen productions which served him as starring vehicles are '' School Days'', ''Rags to Riches'', ''Heroes of the Street'', and Warner specials. He was eleven years old when he appea ...
