On June 20, 1929, American TV and film actor, Bonnie Bartlett, was born in New York City, New York, with an acting career that spans more than 60 years, beginning with a credit role in the 1950s daytime drama Love of Life. She was recognized for her role in the medical drama series St. Elsewhere as Ellen Craig. Credits to Bartlett and her husband, actor William Daniels, who played her fictitious spouse, Dr. Mark Craig, were the first married pair to win an Emmy on the same night since Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne back in 1965.

At Northwestern University, Bartlett met her husband, actor William Daniels, whom she tied the knot with on June 30, 1951. She eventually gave birth to a son a decade later in 1961, but unfortunately, the baby didn’t survive. The couple then decided to adopt two sons, Michael, who went on to work as an assistant director and stage manager in Los Angeles, and Robert, who went on to work as an artist and computer graphics designer in New York City.
