Perhaps you were thinking of Tony Randall?
I think I have seen him in more movies than just about anyone else I can think of. Classics like The Vikings, Spartacus, The Great Race, Houdini, The Great Imposter, The Boston Strangler, The Defiant Ones, Taras Bulba, Trapeze, Some Like It Hot and so many others I cannot list them all. Not a bad career for a little Jewish boy from the Bronx! Not to mention being married to a couple of hotties like Janet Leigh and Christine Kaufman. One of my movie idols growing up.![]()
Why did I think he died about 15 years ago?

June: "Ward,wait a minute, I'll be down to make you and the boys breakfast as soon as I do my hair, put on a black dress, a string of pearls and my high heels."
I thought everybody lived like that except my family. Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, Donna Reed-everybody was always dressed so well at home.

I could go off on a historical commentary of 1950s television families, but I'm sure you probably already know all that.I used to lecture about June Cleaver and Donna Reed when I was teaching American history.
