KFAC was sold, and the new owners fired Fred and numerous other members of the "Old Guard" in 1987. He and the others later won an age-discrimination lawsuit against the radio station.

Was also the program director of the AM side of the KFAC station in the 1970s in addition to hosting his own shows.

Became a part-time announcer at Los Angeles classical radio station KFAC in 1946, although he continued to act sparingly on TV. In the mid-1960s he began working full time at KFAC.

Became a long-time friend to Superman actor George Reeves, who played the other Tarleton twin, Stuart Tarleton, in GWTW. In fact, Fred was Reeves' best man at his first wedding in 1940. He never believed that Reeves committed suicide in 1959, but that someone else shot him to death.

He was an actor, known for Gone with the Wind (1939), The Gay Amigo (1949) and General Hospital (1963). He was married to Terry Lynn Halfacre, Anita Joan Cohen, Barbara Jeanne Garoutte, Ruth Ceder and Rose Marcelle Dudley Heaslip.

Fred Crane was born on March 22, 1918 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA as Herman Frederick Crane.

Recently owned a registered historic 1846 Confederate home and Civil War hospital in Barnesville, Georgia, which he and his wife Terry operated as the Tarleton Oaks Bed & Breakfast for several years.
