Father of Jody Katt (b. 1947) and Juanita Katt (b. 1953).
Father, with actress Barbara Hale, of virtual look-alike son, actor William Katt.
He turned down the lead in the adventure series "Sea Hunt" (1958), which eventually went to Lloyd Bridges, because he didn't think an underwater show would work well on TV. After the show became a hit with Bridges, Bill decided to try a water-themed series of his own, but it was short-lived.
