Robert Shayne Facts
Raised in the political arena of Washington, DC. His father was a publisher with major connections to the White House. As a very young child Shayne once sat on the lap of President William Howard Taft. When Taft asked him how he was, the young Shayne replied that he was uncomfortable sitting on Taft's lap because his belly was so big (Taft was renowned for his girth and was so fat he once got stuck in the bathtub at the White House).
Two children with Elizabeth: 1) son, Robert Shayne, Jr. born June 5, 1947 died August 19, 1983 of throat cancer. Was a child actor. 2) Daughter, Stephanie Shayne born March 11, 1950, still living. Actress since childhood, still working.
His career consisted of supporting roles and bit parts (sometimes uncredited) in well over 100 feature films. It was his regular role as Insp. Bill Henderson on the classic TV series "Adventures of Superman" (1952) that finally made his face and name familiar to the public.
