The son of veteran character actor Harry Hayden, Don Hayden's best remembered role is as the somewhat screwy but faithful Freddie Wilson, boyfriend of Gale Storm in the classic TV series My Little Margie (1952). His film career was somewhat uneventful; he made less than a dozen films in a 14-year career, and most of his parts were unbilled. He guest-starred in several TV series before finally retiring. He died in 1998.
