Leatrice Joy Facts
Before she became an actress, Louise Beavers was Leatrice's maid for 12 years.

Her unusual given name is said by her grandsons to have come about in the following manner: she was supposed to be named 'Beatrice' but on the way to her christening, her mother remembered that Leatrice's father had once been engaged to a girl by that name. So she went through the alphabet (Beatrice, Ceatrice, Deatrice) until she came to a version she liked.

Her great-grandson is David Prior, who is an actor, a screenwriter, and a DVD producer.
