Today, marks what would've been William Hartnell's 102nd Birthday! Which is but a mere child's age for a Time Lord.
Best known as the First Doctor (1963-1966) and reprising the role in 1973's The Three Doctors with Patrick Troughton & Jon Pertwee (2nd & 3rd Doctors). Due to ill health, Hartnell was shown only in pre-recorded film inserts.
To many, Mr Hartnell’s Doctor Who character was a “grumpy grandfather” figure, but he described himself in the role as: “A cross between The Wizard of Oz and Father Christmas.”
23rd April 1975 Hartnell died peacefully in his sleep of heart failure after sufering a series of strokes brought on from cerebrovascular disease
