Gaynes was born on May 16, 1917, in Helsinki,[1] in what was then the Grand Duchy of Finland, part of the Russian Empire (Finland became independent that year), the son of Iya Grigorievna de Gay (later known as Lady Abdy), a Russian artist of Finnish descent, and Gerrit Jongejans, a Dutch businessman.[2] His uncle was the actor Gregory Gaye.[2] He was raised in France, England, and Switzerland.[3]
Gaynes graduated from the Collège Classique Cantonal near Lausanne in 1937.[4] He also attended the Music School of Milan from 1938 to 1939,[4] and many years later trained at the Actors Studio in New York City from 1953 to 1958.[4]
In 1946, Gaynes returned to France, but an American theater director offered him a role in a Broadway musical and he moved to New York City later that year and became an American citizen in 1948.[1][5][6] During this time, his best-known appearances were in Wonderful Town, the musical version of My Sister Eileen.[6] Gaynes alternated between stage musicals and both comedic and dramatic plays, including his role as Bob Baker in the original production of Wonderful Town (1953), Jupiter in the Cole Porter musical Out of This World (credited as George Jongejans),[7]Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and as Henry Higgins in the 1964 U.S. tour of My Fair Lady.[8]
On television, Gaynes played the role of Henry Warnimont, the eventual foster father for Punky Brewster in the eponymous series from 1984-1988. He also provided the voice for Henry in the animated version of the show. He appeared as high-powered theatrical producer Arthur Feldman on The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, in which Gaynes' real-life wife, Allyn Ann McLerie, co-starred as his love interest, and as Senator Strobe Smithers in the hit TV show Hearts Afire. He also appeared in one episode of the sci-fi television series Sliders as the old-aged version of Quinn Mallory, played by Jerry O'Connell.[30] Behind the camera, he directed the last episode of WKRP in Cincinnati in 1982.
Personal life and death
Gaynes was married to stage and television actress and dancer Allyn Ann McLerie from December 20, 1953, until his death; they had two children, Matthew Gaynes and Iya Gaynes Falcone Brown. Matthew was shortlisted for the US Olympic kayak team the year that President Jimmy Carter boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Matthew died in a car crash in India in 1989 on his way to Nepal to film a kayaking special for ESPN.[1][2][31]
In addition to Gaynes joining the cast of his wife's series The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd in 1989, McLerie and he had previously worked together on Punky Brewster, when she guest-starred in a first-season episode as a love interest of Henry Warnimont's.
