Happy Birthday Neil Hamilton!

Post by Catfan »

James Neil Hamilton was born on this day in 1899 in Lynn, Massachusetts. A cousin of actress Margaret Hamilton, he received more fan mail in the 1920s than Rudolph Valentino. This Twenties heartthrob matured into more character roles by 1965, when he accepted the role of Police Commissioner James Gordon in the 1966 Batman series. While he died on 24 September 1984, he clearly has not been forgotten. I always found his presence welcoming, even as a kid!

God Bless, Mr. Hamilton!!
