John Aniston, who became the star of three iconic television series — “The Golden Girls,” “Sex and the City” and “Spin City,” died Saturday. He was 89.

Aniston, whose real name was John Herbert Aniston, began his acting career in Hollywood early in his life. He was a dancer in musicals, but made a decision to become an actor after his father bought him an audition tape at a drive-in theater featuring a young Richard Gere for a part in “The Birdcage.”
