Early life

Labyorteaux was born on July 22, 1965, in Los Angeles, California to unknown parents.[2] He was adopted by Ronald "Ron" Labyorteaux (1930–1992), a talent agent, and Frances Mae "Frankie" Labyorteaux (1927–2012), an actress better known by the stage name Frances Marshall, at the age of nine months.[3][4][5] Little is known of his personal life before he was adopted, though his adoptive mother commented that when they first met Labyorteaux, he was suffering from malnutrition and had been labeled "unadoptable" by social workers.[6][7] His brother, Matthew Labyorteaux, was adopted by Ronald and Frances in 1966, when he was 10 months old, and his sister, Jane Labyorteaux, at an unknown date.
