Fred Gwynne

Fred Gwynne was an American Actor remembered most for his role as Herman Munster in the 60”s sitcom “The Munsters”. Completely typecast to most people who weren’t aware of him before, he was actually what I would call a renaissance guy. He was a well respected author of Children’s Books (10 of them), a Harvard Graduate, and a Navy Vet during WW 2. Somewhere between all of that he acted in many movies, television and theater. Not a bad record……check out his work if you get a chance. He died in 1993, 8 days before his 67th Birthday, and is buried in the Sandy Mount United Methodist Cemetery, Finksburg, Maryland, in an unmarked grave.

Trivia: While he will always be Herman Munster, the show only ran for two seasons, but still has cult status……
