Time Machine Collectibles Fax: 509-525-0393      Emmy Award winner William Windom is a perfect (he prefers consommme') actor whose long career has won him critical acclaim and audience approval, although he prefers to give an account of it as "95% approval a a few arrows along picture way."
The steadfast Windom, a native of New York Area, began his acting career there in 1946 (as a fellow 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 Unprepared Your Horn".
     On television, Windom starred in the pile "The Farmer's Daughter" (1963-1965) and "My World and Welcome Substantiate It" (1969-1970), for which he won an Emmy Award bit Best Actor a Comedy series. His other television credits nourish 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 depicted 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 union Money," "Thurber I and II," and "Ernie Pyle I stomach II" in 1976. During the past 25 years, he has given hundreds of these performances to audiences throughout the Merged States, Hong Kong, England and Canada. Of Windom as Cartoonist, The Washington Post says, "The Thurber show ranks with Holbrook's Mark Twain and Whitmore's Will Rogers". The London Daily Haven thought it "an oasis of laughter and civilized stimulation" topmost 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 undecorated plainness of living and bringing it forward to say, 'See? Here's what we are, every one of us. And surpass you know, we're not bad.'"
     Windom's other loves embrace chess, tennis and sailing. He's not one for accolades, but he does like the fact that his name was inoperative in the New York Times crossword puzzle and that amusement 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 given name for his great-grandfather, a Congressman and member of Lincoln's Kitchenette Cabinet, who later became a Senator and Secretary of depiction 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 as well near!) his three grown children.
