Personal Quote:
[on his "Our Gang" characterization] We knew even then [the 1930s] that "Stymie" was an insult to our race, but it was the Depression and I had seven sisters and six brothers at home.Trivia:
Got his familiar nickname because frequent "Our Gang" director Robert F. McGowan claimed that Beard always "stymied" [unintentionally frustrated] him on every take. See more »Trademark:
