    "This is One-Adam-12. We have a 10-79"

    Marty passed away Sunday.

    Martin Sam Milner was born December 28, 1931 in Detroit, Michigan. His mother, Jerre Martin, originally from Oregon, was a dancer with the Paramount Theater circuit. His father, Sam Gordon Milner, a Polish Jewish immigrant, was a film distributor. The Milners moved to Seattle when Martin was a baby and to Los Angeles soon after. At age 15, Martin's father got him an agent and he was chosen to play the role of "John Day" in Life with Father (1947), Warner Bros.' version of Clarence Day, Jr.'s popular Broadway play. Milner contracted polio shortly after filming was completed and his career was put on hold for a year as he recovered from the illness. After graduating from North Hollywood High School and studying for one year at the University of Southern California, Milner worked steadily in films during the years 1949-1960. He appeared in films such as Sands of Iwo Jima (1949), Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), Marjorie Morningstar (1958) and Sweet Smell of Success (1957). He put his career on hold again when he was inducted into the Army in 1952 for two years. Shortly after joining the Army, he was assigned to the Human Research Division, where he directed military training films and served as Master of Ceremonies for a touring show based at Fort Ord, California. While at Fort Ord Milner met actors David Janssen and Clint Eastwood. Janssen and Milner encouraged Eastwood, who was serving as a swimming instructor at the base, to go into acting. Milner married television actress and singer Judy Jones in 1957 and they have four children--Amy, Molly, Stuart, and Andrew.

    I was surprised to see that he hasn't had a credit since '97. I always have trouble distinguishing him from Kevin Tighe (from Emergency!), who continues to work regularly, notably playing a twisted role in the Lost mythology. If asked to name the actor on Lost, I would have said Milner. I would have been wrong.

    Survived by his spouse of 58 years.


    One of the great things about Route 66 (and Adam-12) is that they were both filmed "on location" when everything up to that point was pretty much filmed in studios. So, when you watch "Route-66", you'll recognize episodes from places you're familiar with around the U.S. Even though "Route-66" is runs along the Southern part of the United States, one episode I remember well is the one that was filmed near downtown Oregon City. Just interesting to see all the places that I like to stroll along, he and George Maharis walked along.
