Footnote:
Leroy Shield wasn't Minnesota's only Little Rascal's connection.
From the book: The Life and Times of Our Gang by Leonard Maltin and Richard Bann: "...Casting twenty-six-year-old
June Marlowe as the demure Miss Crabtree was a great boon to the
series, and set a lucrative pattern for a number of wonderful
sequels. "Miss Crabtree" was born Gisela Goetten and moved to
Hollywood from [St. Cloud] Minnesota. She'd been both a Warner's
and Universal contractee before landing at Roach, where she also
worked with Charley Chase and Laurel & Hardy before marrying a
Hollywood businessman and retiring from films."
