Did you know that his real name was Eugene Klass, the grandson of Jewish immigrants from Russia, but he changed his last name to Barry in honor of John Barrymore. Something else most people may not be aware of...he made an eyeblink-length cameo appearance in Steven Spielberg's 2005 War of the Worlds, along with his 1953 co-star of the original film, Ann Robinson. I've been waiting for the film to be shown again just so I can see how he looked in 2005~
