Armando Joseph Catalano (January 14, 1924 – April 30, 1989[1]), better known as Guy Williams, was an American actor. He played swashbuckling action heroes in the 1950s and 1960s.[2]
Among his most notable achievements were two TV series: Zorro in the title role, and as the father of the Robinson family on the popular sci-fi series Lost in Space.
During most of the 1970s, Guy Williams frequently visited and worked in television shows in Argentina, where he was most revered.[3] He retired in the early 1980s in Buenos Aires, where he died of a ruptured brain aneurysm in 1989.
His body was found on Saturday May 6, 1989, but he had already been dead for a number of days; he was last seen alive on April 30; his death date has often been reported as May 7, but this was already a day after his body was found, and probably almost a week after he actually died.
