His last name is also spelled McLaglen.

Born in London, England, he soon moved to the U.S. with his family.

His father was veteran tough guy Victor McLaglen. He even looks a little like his famous father.

His daughter is producer Mary McLaglen, and his son is assistant director Josh McLaglen. That's keeping it in the family.

Mostly known for his westerns, including some with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, he holds the record for directing the most episodes of both "Gun smoke" and "Have Gun Will Travel."

He ended his directorial career as a stage director in western Washington State, where he spent the last years of his life.

R.I.P. Andy. You will be missed.
