Personal Quote:

Because I could dance my folks went through hell so I could be in movies. But I didn't dance in pictures. I cried! At one point I had polio, which I believe was a result of the stress I felt in the studios. My parents broke up. My father resented that I was paid so much more than he was. When it was all over there was no money. See more »

Trivia:

In the early 60s he went into the real estate business, retiring in 1985. See more »
