Today is the birthday of actor MacDonald Carey. Once a prolific B-movie actor, MacDonald Carey is best known as both the founding patriarch and the announcer of the long running daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives. He can still be heard uttering his classic line "Like sands through the hourglass, so our the days of our lives" before every program, over a decade after his death.



While not many soap opera actors can claim to have a trading card of their likeness, MacDonald Carey appeared in a set of "TV and Radio Stars" cards.
