I am the son of stage and screen performers Jean Parker and Robert Lowery. My mother started her career under contract with MGM. Her first film was "Rasputin and the Empress", starring all three Barrymores. She was then loaned to Columbia to co-star in Frank Capra's "Lady for a Day". She was best known in the role of Beth in the 1933 film "Little Women". She co-starred in several films and appeared in over seventy through 1966, her last film being "Apache Uprising". She also starred on the Broadway stage with Bert Lahr in the drama "Burlesque" and filled Judy Holliday's role as Billie Dawn in the comedy "Born Yesterday" My father co-starred or was featured in a similar number of films. His career began in a small role in "Guns Along the Mohawk", a 1939 film starring Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert. His film roles were varied, mostly actioners, including the role of Batman in the 1949 serial. Both of my parents have biographies on Wikipedia. I am 67, an executive with the city of Los Angeles, and have not gained film or stage experience.
