BONNIE BARTLETT & WILLIAM DANIELS - OUR LOVE Keeps Getting Stronger

In this age of social media, text messaging and email, long-married actors and St. Elsewhere alums William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett like to do somethings the old-fashioned way. "I handle all the fan mail," says Bonnie, who admits she doesn't mind doing the work, "but Bill has to sign" his own autographs.

Married in 1951, Bonnie, 95, and Bill, 97, take great pride in their life together. "We're so active at our age," says Bonnie, who goes on walks and does Pilates exercises in her pool to stay fit. "We have a stationary bike," adds Bill.

"I get on the bike a lot." The couple also work with a trainer twice a week.
