Bill Williams (1915-1992)

biography

Born Herman Katt in Brooklyn, New York, on May 21, 1915, actor Bill Williams grew up in New York City. A natural athlete, Williams became a junior national champion swimmer as a teenager and was also a dancer in vaudeville. He enlisted in the United States Army during World War II, and following his discharge Williams made the switch to acting. He made his film debut in Universal's comedy mystery Murder in the Blue Room (1944; with Anne Gwynne), which he followed up with a supporting role in MGM's war drama Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944; with Van Johnson and Robert Walker). At about the same time, Williams met up-and-coming actress Barbara Hale in an acting class while both were contract players at RKO. Hale and Williams married in 1946.
In 1946, Williams landed a solid role as Perry Kincheloe, a Marine whose war injuries rendered him crippled, in Till the End of Time (1946; with Guy Madison, Robert Mitchum, and Dorothy McGuire). His first starring roles came in the RKO comedy A Likely Story (1947; with Barbara Hale) and in RKO's film noir thriller The Clay Pigeon (1949; with Barbara Hale and Martha Hyer). Upon leaving RKO in 1949, Williams began a long association with westerns including the20th Century Fox release Fighting Man of the Plains (1949; with Randolph Scott and Victor Jory) and Monogram's Blue Grass of Kentucky (1950; with Jane Nigh). He cemented this association in 1951, when he was cast in the title role in the syndicated TV series The Adventures of Kit Carson, which aired first-run episode from 1951 to 1955. Following the end of his series, Williams found he had been typecast in the Kit Carson role, so he attempted to break out of the mold by taking the role of Gus Angel, opposite Betty White, in the short-lived 1957-1958 ABC comedy series Date With the Angels. However, Williams was content to take roles in westerns, such as Oklahoma Territory (1960; with Gloria Talbott), Law of the Lawless (1964; with Dale Robertson and Yvonne De Carlo), and Buckskin (1968; with Barry Sullivan, Wendell Corey, and Barbara Hale).

later years

Film roles for Bill Williams slacked off in the 1960s, but he kept busy on television in guest-starring roles on such programs as Perry Mason, Ironside, Lassie, and The F.B.I., just to name a few. And he occasionally tackled a film role in low-budget films, including The Giant Spider Invasion (1975; with Barbara Hale, Steve Brodie, and Leslie Parrish. His last acting role came in the NBC TV movie Goldie and the Boxer Go to Hollywood (1981; with O.J. Simpson and Reb Brown. Afterward, Williams and Barbara Hale retired to their Yucca Valley ranch. During the same period, their son, William Katt, was starring in a series of his own, The Greatest American Hero, which aired from 1981 to 1983 on ABC. Sadly, Bill Williams passed away from complications arising from a brain tumor on September 21, 1992, at the age of 77. He was survived by his wife, Barbara Hale; daughters Johanna and Juanita; son, actor William Katt; and four grandchildren.
