Ted Donaldson – 85

Ted Donaldson was born to Will Donaldson, a singer/composer and his wife Jo (who died when he was 4 and a half). His career kickstarted in the 30’s during the Great Depression, with him appearing in an NBC radio show In December of 1937. However, the Great Depression did not affect him or his family much as he reaped in great wealth due to his acting talent! His most acclaimed roles came on ‘A Christmas Carol’ and ‘Father Knows Best’. Despite being talent and potential laden, Donaldson left the industry in 1940 to live a less spotlight sedated life.
