Ray Walston..."MyFavorite Martian"

Ray Walston, best known for his roles in My Favorite Martian, Damn Yankees, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, was an intensely private man who valued his family and career over fame. He was born on December 2, 1914, in New Orleans, Louisiana. From a young age, he showed an interest in performing arts and eventually moved to New York City to pursue acting.

Despite his success, Walston avoided the Hollywood social scene and kept his personal life largely out of the public eye. He was married to Ruth Calvert in 1943, and their marriage lasted until her death in 2004—a rarity in Hollywood. They had one daughter together, Katherine Ann Walston. His commitment to his family was well-known among friends and colleagues, and he kept his private life mostly shielded from the press.
