Bill Macy (born May 18, 1922) is an American actor, known for his portrayal of Walter Findlay, Bea Arthur's long-suffering husband on the 1970s television sitcom Maude.
Macy was born Wolf Marvin Garber in Revere, Massachusetts, the son of Mollie (Friedopfer) and Michael Garber, a manufacturer.[1]
I just don't understand why Dinah Shore thought she could do better than Fanny Rose.
