Well known for playing Bernard in the stage and film version of "Death of a Salesman," character actor Don Keefer is best remembered by me for playing Dan Hollis- the subject of Anthony's frustration in the classic Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life." Little Anthony has the power to bring things to life, make television, basically make anyone or anything do whatever he wants. When someone upsets him, he sends them to "the cornfield." Poor Dan Hollis is celebrating his Birthday, and all he wants is to be able to listen to the Perry Como record he got as a present. He finds out the hard way that he shouldn't tangle with little Anthony. I had heard that in his 90's, Don Keefer is now virtually blind. His signature as he writes it now is in the lower left corner.
