William Daniels Turns 99, Thanks Fans for Keeping Him Young

He highlights Cameo as his way to keep performing for fans.

Overview

  • The Boy Meets World actor turned 99 on Tuesday, after telling fans Monday he is pausing long‑distance travel but remains available for personalized videos on Cameo.
  • He plans a quiet celebration at home with his wife, Bonnie Bartlett, their two sons, and four grandchildren, describing the gathering as a rare chance to have everyone in one place.
  • He said he does not feel 99 and, with a laugh, waved off the idea of turning 100 next year, telling People he prefers not to reach that mark.
  • He stays active by attending select fan conventions, recording hundreds of Cameo messages each year, and working with a trainer, which he says keeps him focused and productive.
  • His nearly 75-year marriage to Bartlett, often noted as the longest active union in Hollywood, includes shared workouts and routines that he credits with supporting their health and connection.
