Sharon’s Weirdest Role
In 1986, Sharon Baird starred as “Ratboy” in the film of the same name. You would never know it was her because she appeared under heavy makeup and was credited as S.L. Baird so no one knew it was a woman playing a young boy. The film was panned by critics and thought of as very strange although it had better luck overseas in countries like France.
The character of “Ratboy” has been ostracized from society for looking like a rat and forced to live near a dumpster when he is befriended by a kind woman. Since the strange role, Sharon has continued to make appearances with the Mouseketeers on occasion and for the most part, now lives in retirement at the ripe old age of seventy-three.
