The Baby


HOW could what is essentially the Title Character (and catalyst for all that happens in the film) go uncredited?! For the record, baby twins David and Donald Gray shared duties being The Bundle of Joy.

Thank You for remembering a little known fact about the movie. I am Donald Gray and my twin brother is David. I just recently retired from the California Highway Patrol and live in Lebec, Ca. with my wife Marcie. We have three beautiful daughters who love to watch the movie Bundle of Joy. Every time they see little Johnny on the screen they smile and say,"There's daddy". My brother Dave is living in up in the state of Washington. Even though we were only one year old in the movie, we have a lot of great memories of our parents and grandparents telling stories about how we won the look a like contest down in Hollywood that gave us the part, and of the actual filming process. We also have all the still pictures of the film and many newspaper and magazine articles. Both Debbie Reynolds "mom" and Eddie Fisher gave us autographed pictures that we treasure today. Thanks for remembering.

To the Mr.s Gray,
Thank you both for being such beautiful and sweet babies. It is a shame you both went uncredited, as did most babies in "those days". It seems as though you both could write a book about the memories your family gave you. As I sit and watch this film, you are snuggled up to Ms. Reynolds and I wonder how they got you to sit so still and snuggle sweetly. My 4th child is 1 and she is a wiggle worm. As the Fishers divorced so terribly and he was lost in a plane accident, we are blessed to have the three (well, four) of you in a vision of domestic bliss. Thank you, again, for giving us this gift.
Ms. Reynolds is one of my favourite actresses and we are lucky to have her still with us.

Who was lost in a plane accident?

Mike Todd...although you'd never guess that from what was written.

Mr Gray, Thank you for responding to the site. I always wonder what became of the children in movies and was so pleased to find your note in the discussion area. I wish you and your brother would expand under your names,"as much as you are comfortable with" on the actual cast list. It is always interesting to know how the lives went for such young cast members.

You and your brother were adorable.

Well that's great to know now because I just asked about this same question a few minutes ago on both boards for Mr. Donald and David Gray without realizing to come to this board first ( oh well better later than never I guess lol ) . Thanks mazzjohn for your subject post and to Mr. Donald Gray for your reply too .
