Screen and television actor Troy Donahue (1936-2001), born Merle Johnson, Jr., made his film debut in 1957's Man Afraid. Two years later, after being signed as a contract player by Warner Bros., Donahue became a teen heartthrob when the studio cast him in A Summer Place (1959). Donahue, whose most successful film was Parrish (1961), appeared in films through 2000. He also starred in two television series, Surfside Six (1960-1962) and Hawaiian Eye (1962-1963), and made guest appearances on a long list of TV shows, from 1958 (The Californians) through 1990 (Monsters).
