Netflix Movies Starring Lu Leonard

Singer/comedy actress Lu Leonard was a plus-sized talent who came in an equally plus-sized package. Born May Lou Price in Long Beach, California on June 5, 1926, to vaudevillian parents, Lu (as she was called almost from birth) was on the road with her mom and dad as an infant. She was named after her father's sister Lulu. Her actress/mother, Amy Goodrich, was her father's second wife. Amy died in July of 1939 when Lou was only 13. Her father, "Happy" Hal Price, by this time had settled comfortably into Hollywood movies as a character player, finding hundreds of small roles in Republic and Monogram westerns. As a young singer and entertainer, Lu stuck with the business and advanced into more prominent roles as an adult. A short-lived marriage to another actor gave her the impetus to switch her stage moniker to "Lu Leonard", keeping the name even after their divorce. Read more on iMDB
