Gene Barry Facts
Sons Michael Barry and Frederick Barry were born in 1946 and 1953, respectively. They adopted a daughter Elizabeth Barry (Liza) in 1967.

He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Live Theatre at 6555 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

Met his wife, Betty Barry (her stage name was Julie Carson) during rehearsals of the 1944 Broadway show "Catherine Was Great". Betty was fired before opening night because she was a blonde and Mae West, the star, would not have competing blondes in her show. Betty had disguised her hair color with a dark black wig. Gene and Betty married later that year and lived a long happy life together until her death in 2003.
