B/w 8x10.Actor Leon Ames (1902-1993), born Leon Waycoff, began his film
career as a matinee idol but is best known for playing a befuddled
patriarch in both films and on television. Ames, who made his film debut in
1931, played in a long list of features through the 1980s, including Murders
in the Rue Morgue (1932), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), Little
Women (1949), Peyton Place (1957), From the Terrace (1960),
The Absent-Minded Professor (1961), Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970),
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1970), Testament (1983) and
Peggy Sue Got Married (1986, his last film). He debuted on television
as the star of Life With Father (1953-1955), and Ames would go on to
starring series roles in Father of the Bride (1961-1962) and
Mr. Ed (1963-1965, as neighbor Gordon Kirkwood). Ames also made
several TV movies and appeared as a guest star on a long list of series,
beginning with early TV anthologies. He was also the owner of a successful Los
Angeles automobile dealership. Signature light semi-legible. Corners lightly
