This man was a great talent, the simplicity and ease of his delivery was wonderful. Mr. Beery represents the height of art deco style, and uniquely, didn't even try to do so. This music is excellent, my compliments to your presentation, it was a pleasure, you know, like being a guest at The Grand Hotel.....
Wallace Beery was tops and made the Golden Age of Hollywood great. When we watch movies of the 1930's, we always make sure your in them, Mr. Beery, or it's just not the same. Wallace , you are still the greatest Hollywood movie legend there will ever be and what ever happens , we will never forget you...fondly...Molly
My father in law (RIP) was a waiter in one of the big London hotels in the Thirties and he loved to talk about the famous people who crossed his path in them times. I remember him telling me how he once served Wallace Beery and received the biggest tip of his career off him.
Beery certainly had a powerful presence, and at least on screen, he came across as both tough and lovable, particularly later in his career (after "The Big House"). But a good many anecdotes depict him as a misanthropic character who made his co-stars' lives miserable, particularly when they were young, like Jackie Cooper and Margaret O'Brien. And some stories about him are even worse. I wonder which of the stories are true, which are half-true, and which are entirely bogus:) --
Beery and Lon Chaney, Sr. were probably the two most powerful actors, when it comes to sheer power, ever recorded on film. Catch Chaney in "The Unknown" or Beery in damn near anything. Beery was an astonishingly great actor and we'll never see anyone like him again. By the way, John Wayne's performance as Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit" was basically a Berry impression, as Garry Wills mentions in his book, "John Wayne's America."
A great, great, wonderful brilliant actor! Everything he was ever in he makes memorable. If he's the star, then he's amazing,If he isn't, then he steals the show and becomes amazing.
Apparently he didn't like working with kids. Also, he seems to have been good friends with Lewis Stone and brought him with on many films.
Great photo montage tribute (though strange music choice). If Beery were to see it, he's probably just say "WHO? MEEEE?!", and then thank you.

Didn't Jackie Cooper talk about how physically cruel or intimidating Beery was?
