1928 Roddy McDowall – British-born actor (Planet of the Apes series, The Poseidon Adventure, The Longest Day, How Green was My Valley, My Friend Flicka, Lassie Come Home, Kidnapped, Cleopatra, That Darn Cat, The Martian Chronicles) He was evacuated to the US during the London Blitz, in World War II. He played The Bookworm in the Batman TV series Best Bookworm ever. The Planet of the Apes series (especially the first) were fantastic sci-fi movies. That Darn Cat is one of my all-time favorite Disney live action movies too.
