His roles have been divided between comedy and heavy parts, and he has made a reputation in both. Wally, in 6 feet tall, weighs over 200 pounds, and has brown hair and dark eyes. He was Gloria Swanson's first husband. After their divorce, he married Areta Gillman in 1924. Beery is an enthusiastic airman, and holds a transport pilot's license.~ |
