He said he was born in 1939, but census records (and his daughter) say he was born in 1933. So your beloved comedian was a liar.
While the titles of the two shows he's best known for, Father Knows Best and Marcus Welby, M.D., would indicate a man of some intelligence, the truth is that behind that bemused smile lurked a complete moron.
