Happy 89th Birthday Don Murray!!! 
Born on July 31, 1929 in Hollywood, California
Thanks for everything, so far...
American actor who shot to stardom in 1956, and has continued to be a reliable actor in movies and on television up till this day.
Murray was the only child of Dennis Aloisius Murray, a Broadway dance director and stage manager, and Ethel Murray, a former Ziegfeld performer.
Upon graduation from high school, he went on to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After graduating, he soon made his Broadway debut in the 1951 play The Rose Tattoo, as Jack Hunter. Registering as a conscientious objector during the Korean War when many young American men were being drafted into the armed forces, Murray was assigned to alternative service in Europe, helping orphans and war casualties. In 1954, he returned from Europe to America and to acting, when he starred alongside Mary Martin in the stage version of The Skin of Our Teeth. Upon seeing his performance in the play, director Joshua Logan decided to cast him in 20th Century Fox's film version of Bus Stop 1956.
