At sixteen, Wallace Beery ran away from home and joined the Ringling Brothers Circus as an elephant trainer. Two years later, he was clawed by a leopard and quit. He appeared in silent films and transitioned to sound under contract with MGM. His first wife was Gloria Swanson and they appeared together in "Sweedie Goes to College." He went to appear in 250 movies and won the Best Actor Oscar in 1931 for his performance in "The Champ". He was a guest at Knowles Hill in the '30s.
