.. Dr. Odo Warnoff
Born:
August 25, 1909
Died: June 10, 1971
Died: June 10, 1971
Trivia:
Michael Rennie always claimed that he "turned actor" to escape becoming an executive for his family's wool business. The Cambridge-educated Rennie haunted the casting offices until he was hired by Alfred Hitchcock for his first film, The Secret Agent (1936). Handsome but hollow, Rennie decided that if he was to be a film star, he'd better learn to act, thus he spent several seasons with the York Repertory. Serving in World War II as a flying officer in the RAF, Rennie came to the United States for the first time to be a training instructor in Georgia. Small roles in postwar British films led to a 20th Century Fox contract. It was during his stay at Fox that Rennie truly began to blossom with major roles in 1951's The Day the Earth Stood Still (as Klaatu), 1952's Les Miserables (as Jean Valjean), 1953's The Robe, and many other films. On television, Michael Rennie spent two years and 76 episodes portraying suave soldier of fortune Harry Lime on the syndicated series The Third Man. Rennie died of emphysema on June 10, 1971.

Trivia:
Actor Craig Hill spent the first few years of the 1950s as a contract player at 20th Century-Fox. Hill was seen in minor roles in such major Fox releases as All About Eve (1950), Cheaper by the Dozen (1950) and What Price Glory? (1952). He was better served at Paramount, where he was quite good as a prison-bound first time offender in Detective Story (1951). Baby boomers will fondly recall Craig Hill as helicopter pilot P. T. Moore on the well-distributed TV adventure series The Whirlybird (1956-59). He died in 2014 at age 88.

Paul Naschy
(Actor)
.. Count Waldemar Daninsky
Born:
January 01, 1936
Trivia:
A former weight-lifter and architect, Paul Naschy entered the Spanish film industry in the mid-1960s, at first acting under his real name, Jacinto Molina. Naschy quickly became Spain's Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Lon Chaney Jr. rolled into one, starring in scores of blood-drenched horror films. Few of his performances of the 1970s were seen in the U.S. intact; beyond the poor voiceover dubbing usually bestowed upon Naschy, his films were rife with the sort of overt sex and sadism that tended to be avoided by "mainstream" movie houses of the era (one of the best video sources for unexpurgated Naschy films is Sinister Cinema, which offers such titles as Fury of the Wolfman, Horror Rises from the Tomb and Inquisition). The actor is best known for his recurring werewolf character Waldemar Daninsky, essentially a sympathetic figure who, in between bouts of lycanthropy, does his best to save the world from vampires, zombies and other undesirables. Since 1968, Paul Naschy has written the screenplays for most of his films, often adopting the pseudonym "Jack Moll" he has also directed at least nine of his own vehicles.
