A Look into Freddy Carter’s Part in “Masters of Air”
Because I was bored, I decided to take a look into who Freddy will be playing in Masters of the Air.
He plays David Friedkin, born March 8th 1912, in Kanas City, Missouri to Russian Jewish immigrants. His education was pretty impressive, graduating high school at 15, attended Julliard on a violin scholarship, but decided to study acting at 17. After collage, he focused on writing and directing.
When the war hit, he joined the Signal Corps, a branch of the Army that pretty much was responsible for the Army’s entire system of communications. After the war, went on to be a writer, director, and producer, most notably “I Spy”, “The Virginian”, and “Kojak”, and over the course of his career he would win six Emmys.
He married only once, to Audrey Westphal, born October 17th, 1922 in Buffalo, New York (which is very close to where I live!), a former actress and dancer. They met in 1944, the how is unknown, they married on March 31st, 1945, and have two sons together, Gregory, an actor/playwright, and Anthony, a notable photographer. They remained married until his death on October 15th, 1976 from cancer. She stayed a widow until her death on February 6th, 1999.
Interesting to see, but when looking at the extended cast list, they have an actress named Nancy Farino playing a character simply named Audrey, this may or may not be the same Audrey. More information on Audrey, and a little on David, can be found here (x).
