How old was Van Williams in…

Van Williams

Bio: You could shoehorn actor Van Williams right in there between the other tall, dark and drop-jaw gorgeous heartthrobs Tom Tryon and John Gavin of the late 1950s/early 1960s who conveyed a similar bland, heroic image. All three were too often given colorless heroes to play on film and/or TV -- roles that played off their charm but seldom tested their talent

Born: Tue, Feb 27 1934

Birthplace: Fort Worth, Texas, USA

Death: Mon, Nov 28 2016

Van Williams is 82 years old
