365 Days of Columbo: January 28th

Birthday wishes to Susan Howard

Best known to regular folks as Donna Krebs in Dallas, Susan Howard was the widow, Shirley Wagner in The Most Crucial Game. She was born January 28th, 1944, in Marshall, Texas.

Unfortunately, Paul Hanlon never managed to find her a new housekeeper.

Fun fact: Her birth name is Jeri Lynn Mooney.

Happy birthday to John Davis Chandler

Perhaps one of the creepier Columbo killers, John Davis Chandler was the mad bomber in Publish or Perish. He was born January 28th, 1945 in Charleston, West Virginia.

Two years after his appearance on Columbo he had an appearance as a bounty hunter chasing Clint Eastwood in The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Fun fact: It's possible Chandler did know at least something about bombs, he served in the Army in the 1950s.
