Armando Joseph Catalano


 Guy Williams, born Armando Joseph Catalano (January 14, 1924 – April 30, 1989)

He usually played swashbuckling action heroes in the 1950s and 1960s, but never quite achieved movie-star status, despite his appearance (including hazel eyes, 6′ 3″ [1m 90 cm] height, and 190 lb [86 kg] weight) and charisma, which helped launch his early successful photographic modeling career. Among his most notable achievements were two TV series: Zorro, in the title role and Lost in Space, as the father of the Robinson family. The sci-fi TV program was popular, noted for the design of the sleek silver spacesuits, which Guy Williams wore in many publicity photos. His hobbies included astronomy, chess, music (mostly classical), fencing, tropical fish, and sailing; he owned a 40-foot (12 m) ketch called the Oceana. During most of the 1970s, Guy Williams frequently visited and worked in television shows in Argentina, where he was most revered. He retired in the early 1980s in Buenos Aires, where he died of a brain aneurysm in 1989. Owing to his great popularity in Argentina, his ashes lay for two years at the Argentine Actors' Society cemetery at La Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires. In 1991, in accordance with his wishes, Guy's ashes were spread over the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, California.
