"Fred shared the Broadway stage with Helen Hayes, did Shakespear and Tennessee Williams, earned accolades for his movie roles. But to millions he'll always be Herman Munster." A quote in The Knoxville News - Sentinel, Knoxville Tennessee on July 3 1993.
He also played a memorable role in "My Cousin Vinny". He was the "sly Southern judge".

He then married Deborah (they met in 1980, when she was 30) on March 9th, 1988. They were married until his death in 1993.
Deborah had grown up in Maryland and after her marriage to Fred Gwynne, they bought a 280 acre farm in Maryland, returning to her roots.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
