Richard Denning, formally known as Louis Albert Heindrich Denninger (March 27, 1914 - October 11, 1998), was an American actor who starred in such movies as Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) and An Affair to Remember (1957), and on radio with Lucille Ball as her husband George Cooper in My Favorite Husband (1948-1951), the forerunner of television's I Love Lucy, for which Denning was replaced by Ball's real-life husband, Desi Arnaz.
He was most famous for his role as Governor of Hawaii Paul Jameson in the CBS series Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980). He also starred as the title character in the detective series Michael Shayne (1960-61). Denning was married to 1940s horror movie queen Evelyn Ankers (co-star of The Wolf Man), who retired from films at age 32 after they were married. After Ankers' death from cancer in 1985, Denning married Patricia Leffingwell.
