Zorro was a huge hit during the fifties and sixties.

There were many Zorros, but the one best known on the early TV series was played by Guy Williams, born Armando Catalano-six feet 2 inches, handsome, athletic. He had more than a few would-be senorita-moms turning the show on for their children. Finally unmasked, Zorro died in 1989 at age sixty-five of a brain aneurysm.
