A longtime familiar face on television and in the movies has passed away.
The New York Times reported:
William Windom, who won an Emmy Award playing an Everyman drawn from the pages of James Thurber but who may be best remembered for his roles on “Star Trek” and “Murder, She Wrote,” died on Thursday at his home in Woodacre, Calif., north of San Francisco. He was 88.The cause of death was congestive heart failure.
The show that Windom won the Emmy Award was My World And Welcome To It. Prior to that, he co-starred with Inger Stevens in The Farmer's Daughter.
Back in the 1970s, I was with a group of friends at the Mann's Theaters in Tarzana (this was twenty years before I moved to Tarzana) waiting in line when I saw Windom with his kids jaywalking at a fast trot across Ventura Blvd. to get to the theaters.
