Wally Cox Underdog - Wallace Maynard Cox Born: December 6, 1924 in Detroit, Michigan Died: February 15, 1973 in Los Angeles, California

Biography
No more odd couple could be imagined than the mousy Wally Cox and his life-long friend and one-time roommate Marlon Brando. The two roomed together when Brando came to New York to study with Stella Adler, but Cox ultimately moved out because he could no longer stand Brando’s pet raccoon. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Cox sprang into the nation’s consciousness when he was cast as school teacher “Robinson Peepers” in the 1952 TV series Mr. Peepers. The show debuted as a summer replacement, but moved to the regular line-up after garnering strong reviews and ratings. Cox, also starred as “Hiram Holiday” in the 1956 series The Adventures of Hiram Holiday and provided the voice of “Underdog” for the cartoon show of the same name. A frequent TV guest star, Cox’s memorable performances included playing computer operator “James Elwood” in The Twilight Zone episode: “From Agnes - with Love.”

Norma McMillan

Born 1921 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Norma MacMillan aka Norma McMillan

Norma MacMillan was a native of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was there that she met, worked with and married her producer/manager husband Thor Arngrim. Arngrim had started the now-legendary, but short-lived Totem Theatre company in 1951. Upon its demise in 1954, he, his partner Stuart Baker, and MacMillan set out for Toronto where Norma landed children-voice roles for CBC. Her versatility in doing a variety of children's voices manifested itself in the roles she played. On the morning radio she played the more saccharine roles while in the evening her talents were employed for playing, as she described them, the "disturbed children" roles. Later on, after she and her husband moved to New York, MacMillan culled from the cartoon industry the voice of Casper the Friendly Ghost. She also lent her voice to characters on the "Gumby Show." In addition to these famous roles, MacMillan was the voice of John-John and Caroline Kennedy in the perhaps infamous recordings of the "First Family" records in the early 1960's. Perhaps her most visible acting role was the part she played in the 1980's as the sweet, demure, naive Aunt Martha opposite Ruth Manning's Aunt Harriet for Kraft Foods mayonnaise commercials. Though she died at the age of 79, she never quite stopped working. Even upon returning to Vancouver with her husband in the mid-1990's, MacMillan joined the Co-Op's Radio's Sunday show for senior citizens and was a board member of the local 411 Seniors Centre. Interestingly, both her children enjoyed the limelight as children: her daughter, Alison Arngrim, played Nellie in "Little House on the Prairie" (1974); and her son, Stefan Arngrim, played Barry Lockridge on the short-lived 1968 television show "Land of the Giants" (1968).

Thor Arngrim (1954  - March 16, 2001) (her death); 2 children
