Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on stories about Ozzie Nelson's perfectionism] Oh, absolutely. Absolutely true. That is the only man I know who, after his show was in reruns would take the reruns and re-edit them because he wasn't happy with something. When it was too late to do anything with them, he still did it. See more »

Trivia:

He was a pre-med student at New York University. Upon graduation, he moved to LA and earned a master's degree in biological sciences at USC, but never put it to use. See more »
