Birthday: Harry Morgan

Born in Detroit, 1915, Harry Morgan aspired to be a lawyer before discovering the profession of acting. He worked his way on stage to Broadway before moving to California in 1942. His first feature film was The Ox Bow Incident and he appeared in many other familiar movies such as High Noon, Inherit the Wind and Support Your Local Sheriff. But his real fame came from television. In the sixties he appeared alongside Jack Webb in the hit show Dragnet. However, he is most recognized as Col. Sherman Potter on M*A*S*H.

If Harry Morgan died today he would be worth 10 points for Jim.
