Can't say that any of the younger ones did anything for me - each to their own!
But I would love to have known Will Geer ('Grandpa' Zebulon Walton ) - a more fascinating man it's hard to imagine. He had a longterm relationship with Harry Hay - the early gay rights activist - in the 1930s. He travelled and performed with the folk singer Woody Guthrie and others, and later was blacklisted by Mccarthy's "House Committee on UnAmerican Activities". On top of all that, he was a noted enthusiast for Shakespeare's plays, and an excellent amateur botanist. And if I manage to look half as sexy in my 70s as he did, I'll count myself lucky!
"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. ... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars." Martin Luther King
