A recent string of Los Angeles burglaries targeted high profile celebrities like Rihanna, who’s house have been broken into earlier this year in May, and then again on September 26.
According to reports Rihanna was not in her home when the police responded to the alarm that went off at her Hollywood Hills home around 10:30 pm. Three suspected men got seen by police as they fled the scene in a silver vehicle upon their arrival.
Police do not believe that William Daniels got targeted and treated as an isolated incident. William Daniels has had a busy acting career which started with his first television film in 1952 named ‘A Woman of the Ages.’
Mr. Feeny to the rescue 🙌

William starred in numerous television shows over the years including the current hit ‘Boy Meets World.’ In 1986, William and his wife Bonnie, who portrayed his fictional wife on both St. Elsewhere’ and ‘Boy Meets World,’ won Emmy Awards at the same time, and became the first married couple since Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in 1965 to do the same.
It’s phenomenal that 91-year old William Daniels foiled a home robbery, but utterly pathetic that news stories are referring to one of the best actors of our time solely for his work on “Boy Meets World.”’ FWIW, Dr. Craig on St. Elsewhere was one of the best TV characters ever. pic.twitter.com/VSMl4RvT8E
