Fred MacMurray (1908â1991) Fred MacMurray was likely the most underrated actor of his generation. True, his earliest work is mostly dismissed as pedestrian, but no other actor working in the 1940s and 50s was able to score so supremely whenever cast against type. Frederick Martin MacMurray was born in Kankakee, Illinois, to Maleta Martin and Frederick MacMurray.
After wife Lillian died of cancer on June 22, 1953, MacMurray married actress June Haver the following year; he and Haver adopted two more children, twins Katherine and Laurie (born 1956). The couple remained married until Fred's death on November 5, 1991. Frederick Martin Fred MacMurray was entombed in Holy Cross Cemetery. In 2005, his second wife June Haver, aged 79, was entombed with her husband.
