Sheldon was born in 1928 and raised in New York. He was a lifelong actor and singer. After serving in the army, Sheldon performed on Broadway and in touring companies across the country through the 1960s.

He then moved to Los Angeles to act in film and television. Sheldon continued his career after his move to Seattle, while also volunteering at the Museum of Flight as a docent and indulging his lifelong love of airplanes.
