Oliver Sacks

One our favorite short stories is the one he wrote about the twins and the prime numbers.

Default Hatshepsut.

Although you've not knowingly heard of the one bearing this name I did announce her arrival earlier:

Aw man - just last night caught this old western-themed remake of the Bogey film 'Sahara', starring (in the female lead) Barbara Hale (best-known as Perry Mason's longtime secretary Della Street ... she is still alive, now in her 90s) and featuring a 21-year-old Martin Milner - already something of a Hollywood veteran by then - as a young cavalry officer. Had not heard of his death at that point.

But, he had a long, fine career, and a long life - his IMDB bio has this as his only personal quote: 'I have no complaints on any level. I'm pretty happy about the way everything turned out.' Fun bit of trivia: He and David Janssen, who met on army duty at Ford Ord, CA in the early 1950s, were responsible for nudging Clint Eastwood, then a swimming instructor at the base, to go into acting.

He was one of a handful of actors to do the Jack Webb triple of Dragnet, Adam-12, and Emergency. Fun fact: in one episode of Emergency Gage and DeSoto talk about watching Adam-12, in which those characters had appeared.
