McLean Stevenson
 
Born in Normal, IL, McLean Stevenson (November 14, 1929-Februrary 15, 1996) starred in a number of TV series (for example, as Lt. Colonel Henry Blake on "M*A*S*H*," as Michael Nicholson on "The Doris Day Show."), and as a regular guest star on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show," and the game show "Hollywood Squares," as well as in some made-for-TV movies.

Entering show business at the age of 31, he worked in night clubs and comedy cabarets before moving to Hollywood, where he initially worked as comedy writer for Tommy Smothers.

McLean was the cousin of Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson. He died the day before Roger Bowen, who played the role of Henry Blake in the movie M*A*S*H*.
