BIOGRAPHY
     Emmy Award winner William Windom is a consummate (he prefers consommme') actor whose long career has won him critical acclaim and audience approval, although he prefers to describe it as "95% approval a a few arrows along the way."
The steadfast Windom, a native of New York City, began his acting career there in 1946 (as a member of the American Repertory Theatre) where he remained through 1961. He appeared in 18 Broadway plays and five off-Broadway productions, including "Henry VIII", Twelfth Night," Androcles and the Lion," "Time Remembered," "Candie," "The World of Susie Wong," and "Come Blow Your Horn".
     On television, Windom starred in the series "The Farmer's Daughter" (1963-1965) and "My World and Welcome To It" (1969-1970), for which he won an Emmy Award as Best Actor a Comedy series. His other television credits include guest starring roles in eposodes of countless series. including "Dallas," "All In The Family," "Flamingo Road," "Night Gallery," "Hotel," "Highway To Heaven," "Hardcastle and McCormick,"  and "Parenthood". He also portrayed Commodore Decker in "The Doomsday Machine" episode of "Star Trek".
    His feature films include "Sommersby" with  Jodie Foster, "Planes, Trains & Automobiles," "To Kill A Mockingbird," "For Love or Money," "Thurber I and II," and "Ernie Pyle I and II" in 1976. During the past 25 years, he has given hundreds of these performances to audiences throughout the United States, Hong Kong, England and Canada. Of Windom as Thurber, The Washington Post says, "The Thurber show ranks with Holbrook's Mark Twain and Whitmore's Will Rogers". The London Daily Mail thought it "an oasis of laughter and civilized stimulation" and the Los Angeles Times said "it's as if the water-clear simplicity of Ernie Pyle's could only have had Bill Windom for a storyteller...Windom has the gift of picking the terrible plainness of living and bringing it forward to say, 'See? Here's what we are, every one of us. And do you know, we're not bad.'"
     Windom's other loves include chess, tennis and sailing. He's not one for accolades, but he does like the fact that his name was used in the New York Times crossword puzzle and that game of his was printed in "Chess Life" and the Los Angeles Times. He's owned seven different small boats since 1953 and won numerous sailing trophies. Several years ago, Windom bought a small island for $1.00 in Windom, Minnesota, so named for his great-grandfather, a Congressman and member of Lincoln's Kitchen Cabinet, who later became a Senator and Secretary of the Treasury. The island's a wildlife refuge, and Windom admits he's "open to any other islands at or near that price."
     Windom lives in Northern California with his wife Patricia and youngest child , son Rebel, and near (perhaps too near!) his three grown children.

News Release

    “Open one of countless doors thrown like stars between the worlds,” invites
listeners to a new series of horror, SF and fantasy stories narrated by
actor William Windom.
    Windom’s amazing career now includes audiotapes of chilling tales set in
the macabre town of Light’s End in Maine. These stories are “[a] meshing of
myth and reality, [of] stack details of place, an...unromantic vision of
horror...”  Light’s End is a gathering place for the worst in human nature.
Windom was Dr. Seth Hazlitt on TV’s Murder, She Wrote. For decades, the
versatile and prolific actor also appeared in dozens of sitcoms and dramatic
TV series including The Twilight Zone, All In The Family, Star Trek and
Barney Miller.  He won his Emmy for My World…and Welcome to It, and starred
in The Farmer’s Daughter.
    The actor has performed in scores of movies, including To Kill a
Mockingbird with Gregory Peck and True Crime with Clint Eastwood.  His
one-man shows as James Thurber and Ernie Pyle have entertained thousands,
and Windom’s resume includes fifteen years on Broadway, countless radio
shows, and several books-on-tape.
Michael Vance is the writer behind Light’s End. Published in dozens of
regional magazines and as a syndicated columnist and cartoonist in over 500
newspapers, his book, Forbidden Adventure, has been called a "benchmark in
comics history”.
    Vance briefly wrote the comic strip Alley Oop and his own strip, Holiday
Out. He also wrote comic books including Straw Men,  Angel of Death, The
Adventures of Captain Nemo, and Bloodtide.  He is listed in the Who's Who of
American Comic Books. With novelists Mel Odom and R.A. Jones, he co-wrote
Global Star, a world where babies born with bowling balls in their stomachs
are common, and the New York Times is “trash journalism”.
