Biography
A crisp Rocky Mountain morning—3 October 1910—welcomed Baby La Reno into Denver, Colorado. Before he could spell his own name, the toddler was whisked before flickering hand-cranked cameras, lending scene-stealing charm to two of 1914’s bustling one-reelers: the crime puzzler *The Master Mind* and the breezy comedy *Brewster’s Millions*. Fame arrived early and left quickly; the lights of Hollywood never stopped calling his name, even after the parts dried up. On 30 October 1982, the boy who once sold out nickelodeons quietly drew his final breath in Los Angeles, 72 autumns after his first.
