In a career that has spanned fifty years and taken him from one of
the greatest movies of all time to some of television's best
series, Emmy-award winning character actor William Windom takes you
behind the scenes of show business from Broadway to Hollywood in
his candid and witty autobiography.
Shortly after returning from active duty in World War II, Windom
entered the acting world, launching his career in parts on and off
Broadway in the late 1940s and 1950s. With refreshing candor, he
tells how he landed his first Hollywood role as the winning
attorney against Gregory Peck in 1962's "To Kill a Mockingbird" and
then went on to act in popular television series including
"Columbo," "Star Trek," "All In the Family," and "Dallas," But
perhaps his most enjoyable roles came from his regular appearances
on "The Farmer's Daughter,," and as Doc Hazlitt in the popular
"Murder, She Wrote,"
Through Windom's personal anecdotes, Hollywood aficionados can
get up close and personal with some of the industry's biggest
names, including John Wayne, Sam Goldwyn, and Angela Lansbury, and
aspiring performers can glean wisdom on choosing agents and
managers, working with directors, and performing an audition by
following Windom's expert and time-tested advice.
Humorous, honest, and endlessly entertaining, "Journeyman Actor"
delivers an intimate glimpse into the career of one of Hollywood's
most successful character actors.
