Born on this day in 1923, he's an actor who's appeared in movies as diverse as To Kill A Mockingbird, Escape From the Planet of the Apes, Dennis the Menace, and the 1993 Attack of the 50 Foot Woman .
But the reason I bring this up is that he looks a lot like my late Uncle Truman did, when they were both younger. Uncle Truman,Dad's brother, was a real nice guy, who when I was young lived in New Jersey and worked as a salesman for a spice company. He passed away a few years ago, when he was living not far from Mom & Dad on Vancouver Island. His son Guy lives in Toronto, and is a retired headmaster. He collects toy soldiers (the collectable kind) and has a room full of them.
All of which has nothing to do with William Windom, but hey...it's his birthday and it just started a train of thought...now derailed...
