There's a touching story in the latest issue of Closer Weekly that you won't want to miss. The widow of TV legend Martin Milner is opening up about her life with the beloved actor, sharing stories that reveal the man behind the screen. These memories are not just for fans of his shows but for anyone who appreciates heartfelt reflections on a life well-lived.
According to Martin’s widow, Judy, their children didn’t always realize their dad was a famous actor. It wasn’t until they caught him on TV that it truly clicked. “When our son Andrew was little, he’d go behind the TV and say, ‘Daddy, come out!’” Judy fondly recalls. This anecdote paints a picture of a man who was more than just a TV star—he was a devoted father and husband who kept his fame in perspective.
Even after becoming a household name through iconic shows like Route 66 and Adam-12, Martin never let his celebrity status define him at home. Judy explains, “Martin went to work in the morning and came home and didn’t talk about what he did all day. He wanted to know what we did.” This simple yet profound statement speaks volumes about his character. Despite his fame, Martin was grounded and focused on the people who mattered most to him.
