In a 2012 interview with the Television Academy Foundation, Willard said he was born on September 18, 1939; that he was "pretty sure" it was in Cleveland; that his birth name was Frederick Charles Willard (without specifying his first name's spelling), and that his father was also named Frederick, but spelled differently. Census records from April 1940 show the father as "Willard, Fred C", working in the financial department of a bank; and the son as "Frederick", attending school in 1940 at age six—implying that Willard was born in 1933 or 1934. At his death in 2020, Willard's daughter stated that he was 86, which also places his birth in 1933 or 1934. Some sources cite Willard's birthplace as Shaker Heights, Ohio. Willard himself stated that he grew up in Shaker Heights, which corresponds with the 1940 Census record showing the family on Riedham Road in that city. (English)
