Sterling Holloway Facts
His first picture was a silent, The Battling Kangaroo (1926) as Napolean French.

Worked on a few Will Rogers movies and was injured in a couple of them. Once a shelf loaded with objects fell on his head after Rogers lassoed the prop and pulled it out of place; once a gun that Hollway was supposed to fire in a scene accidentally exploded in his hand.

Never married.
