Wallace Fitzgerald Beery (April 1, 1885 – April 15, 1949) was an American film actor.〔Obituary ''Variety'', April 20, 1949.〕 He is best known for his portrayal of Bill in ''Min and Bill'' opposite Marie Dressler, as Long John Silver in ''Treasure Island'', as Pancho Villa in ''Viva Villa!'', and his titular role in ''The Champ'', for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. Beery appeared in some 250 movies during a 36-year career. His contract with MGM stipulated in 1932 that he be paid $1 more than any other contract player at the studio, making him the highest paid actor in the world.

==Early life==
Beery was born in Clay County, Missouri, near Smithville.〔''Dictionary of Missouri Biography'', Lawrence O. Christensen, University of Missouri Press, 1999.〕 The youngest of three sons born to Noah Webster Beery (January 11, 1856 Platte County, Missouri - May 19, 1937 Los Angeles County, California) and Frances Margaret Fitzgerald (1859 Ridgely, Missouri - April 9, 1931 Los Angeles County, California), he and his brothers William C. Beery〔(William C. Beery; findagrave.com )〕 and Noah Beery became Hollywood actors. The Beery family left the farm in the 1890s and moved to nearby Kansas City, Missouri, where the father was a police officer.
Wallace Beery attended the Chase School in Kansas City and took piano lessons as well, but showed little love for academic matters. He ran away from home twice, the first time returning after a short time, quitting school and working in the Kansas City train yards as an engine wiper.〔 Beery ran away from home a second time at age 16, and joined the Ringling Brothers Circus as an assistant elephant trainer. He left two years later, after being clawed by a leopard.
