John Forsythe was an American stage, television, and film actor. Forsythe starred in three television series, spanning four decades and three genres: as single playboy father, Bentley Gregg, in the sitcom Bachelor Father (1957–1962); as the unseen millionaire, Charles Townsend, on the crime drama Charlie's Angels (1976–1981), and as patriarch, Blake Carrington, on the soap opera Dynasty (1981–1989). He hosted World of Survival (1971–1977).
Despite showing initial reluctance, Forsythe began an acting career at the suggestion of his father. He met actress, Parker McCormick (December 1918 – July 1980), and the couple married in 1939; they had a son, Dall (born in 1943), and divorced in 1943. As a bit player for Warner Brothers, Forsythe successfully appeared in several small parts. As a result he was given a small role in Destination Tokyo (1943). Leaving his movie career for service in World War II, he appeared in the U.S. Army Air Forces play and film Winged Victory, then worked with injured soldiers who had developed speech problems.
