Medical Center in Los Angeles. He then served two years in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. Dr. Walford joined the faculty at the University of California at Los Angeles UCLA in 1954. He became a Professor of Pathology at the UCLA School of Medicine in 1966.

Biosphere 2 Dr. Walford was one of the eight crew members who were sealed inside Biosphere 2 where they lived from September 26, 1991 - September 26, 1993. Dr. Walford served as the crew's physician. During his stay in Biosphere 2, the crew found that they could not grow as much food as anticipated, so Dr. Walford convinced the crew to follow his calorie restriction diet. It is claimed that this action produced dramatic weight loss and improved health.1 Published works Walford authored several books, and set out his dietary beliefs in the bestseller Beyond the 120-Year Diet. In addition, he published at least 340 scientific papers, mainly focused on the biology of aging. Dr. Walford authored or co-authored the following books:2 Walford, R. L. 1960.

Personal trivia In 1949, while on vacation either from or after medical school sources disagree, Walford and Albert Hibbs, a mathematics graduate student, used statistical analysis of biased roulette wheels to break the bank in Reno. They tracked the results of the spins, determined which wheels were biased, and then bet heavily on the ones which were unbalanced. The casinos eventually realized that Walford and his friend knew what they were doing and threw them out. A Life Magazine photographer captured the pair drinking milk and counting their chips in a photograph published in the December 7, 1949 issue. Their methods were also mentioned in the roulette book The Eudaemonic Pie by Thomas Bass. Different sources have the pair winning anywhere from $6,500 Life Magazine to $42,000 an obituary by the Gerontology Research Group; the high end is more likely, as Walford was reputed to have paid for part of his medical school education and a house from his winnings. The pair also bought a yacht and sailed the Caribbean for over a year. At UCLA, Walford was known for his quirks, notably his secretary, a statuesque blonde transvestite.
