sidetracked during World War II and naval officer training at DePaul
university. During a speech class the instructor, who also headed the
drama department, saw Aidman as ideal for a role in an upcoming play.
"I did the play and enjoyed it. It was the first play I was in, in my
life...I've been acting ever since."
