His father was RCA-NBC media mogul David Sarnoff, head of the fabled American media family, and he had a six-decade career helping usher in the era of television. He was born in New York City into the fabled American media family on Feb. 23, 1927, and legend has it he was television’s “first live star” — a test subject for the RCA-NBC demonstration of the TV medium at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York.
