Charles Douglas (Doug) Greer was born in Ottawa, Canada, and moved to Glendale, California in 1924. He began working in the film industry at age seven after winning a freckles contest. It was his many freckles that earned him the name, “Turkey Egg” given to him by Robert McGowan, director of the “Our Gang” comedies, also known as, “The Little Rascals,” in which Doug was a regular. His freckles reminded the director of the speckles that cover turkey eggs. Doug spent twelve years of his childhood working in the movies alongside actors such as Mickey Rooney, John Wayne and Jackie Cooper. He was a member of the Screen Actors Guild and acquired around 60 screen credits.
