Bio of the week:
Our bio is that of Efrem Zimbalist Jr.. Zimbalist played millionaire Williams Edgars on Babylon 5, husband of the love of Garibaldi’s life and the man responsible for developing a virus that would kill telepaths. Zimbalist was born in 1918 and was quite accomplished. He was a decorated soldier in WWII and acted on both television and in the movies. He came up in the era of contract players and he was one of Warner Brothers stable. Even though his family was a Russian Jewish family, his parents converted to Christianity and he never considered himself Jewish. Mr. Zimbalist died in 2014 at the age of 95. My DH met him once and said he was a tiny man.
