Orphan Adopted In Wyoming Becomes Million Dollar Child
NEA Service reports Joyce Coad, adopted in Wyoming by Mr and Mrs Raymond Coad, rises from a foundling to a celebrated child actress in Hollywood. Discovered in Los Angeles during MGM’s search for a “million dollar baby,” Joyce impresses judges with natural talent, recitation, painting, and perfect simple acting.
