John Hiestand, a talented actor, came into this world on January 16, 1907, in the picturesque city of Madison, Wisconsin, USA. His remarkable career spanned numerous iconic films, including the 1941 comedy "Rise and Shine", the 1959 suspenseful drama "One Step Beyond", and the 1938 action-packed "Kentucky Moonshine". Throughout his life, he was blessed to share it with not one, but two loving spouses - Jeanne McGee and Jeane Wood. Unfortunately, his life came to a close on February 5, 1987, in the beautiful coastal city of Newport Beach, California, USA.
