#Quote
1[When asked by Johnny Carson on a 1971 show, why his classy series My World and Welcome to it was not renewed] He said simply: "We couldn't beat Gunsmoke, we could not beat Gunsmoke".
2I used to be known in those days as 'Willie the Weeper.' Whenever they needed someone to break down on a show confessing a murder or infidelity, anything where something happened to this guy and we watch him disintegrate on camera, they would say, 'Get Windom - bring in Willie the Weeper!'
3"You have a nice time because people are very nice, basically. I travel a lot and I see a great many of them in all parts of the country and it's always a treat. Everybody has something worthwhile to offer, for at least ten seconds, maybe ten hours, maybe ten years, whatever, but they all have that spark that's worthwhile." (on being interviewed all over the world)
4I maintain that 90 percent of what you do in this world whether it's bagels you eat, clothes you wear, adults you meet when you're little, plays you go to or are in, 90 percent is horsecrap. Five percent is just godawful and you wish you could forget it, five percent is memorable, so you better enjoy the horsecrap because nine out of ten hours in your life are gonna be spent in horsecrap. So fine, but don't go around giving it first prizes! The first prizes are too valuable -- they're really for only for that five percent -- of people, food, clothing, time, weather, age -- whatever you want to name in your life.
5Likable plus 45 cents gets you a cup of coffee. They want something that's effectively the same. As an actor, you make money by having them know exactly who you are and what you're gonna do and that's what they come back to see again in one form or another. I'm not a star; there are only about 25 stars in the whole world. You run into trouble even with people like Liv Ullmann, a fine actress, but how many people in Africa ever heard of or care about Liv Ullmann? It's good acting, wonderful, so who cares? Bring on Mickey Mouse.
6There are two essentials, two and two only, to have any performance in the world in any medium. One is the audience and two is the author. The rest fills in. The two essentials are someone to have the idea to say it and someone to hear it. Without either one of those two, you have nothing.
#Fact
1Can be heard promoting his show "the farmer's daughter" shortly before ABC news preempted programming with the news of President John F. Kennedy's assassination on Nov 22, 1963.
2Was a tournament-level chess player.
3Has been profiled in Chess Life magazine twice (he is a tournament player with a penchant for unusual openings; one of his positions had turned up in a Chess Life problem column before the magazine interviewed him). The second time, in 1988, he appeared with his friend, Claude Akins (who had been on Murder, She Wrote (1984) as "Captain Ethan Craig" the season before Windom became "Dr. Seth Hazlitt") playing a game in Windom's back yard. During an interview for the article, Windom said that he planned to have a large Rook (the castle-shaped piece) made of Nubian marble and cap it with a compass rose, "and one day my ashes will be buried underneath it".
4He's owned seven different small boats since 1953 and won numerous sailing trophies.
5Windom bought a small island for $1.00 in Windom, Minnesota, so named for his great-grandfather, a one-time member of Lincoln's Kitchen Cabinet. The island's a wildlife refuge.
6Married five times, he has four children: Rachel, Heather Juliet, Hope and Rebel Russell, the youngest.
7During World War II, he served as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army with B Company 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division and fought in Operation Market Garden (the invasion of Holland) and the Battle of the Bulge.
8Chess enthusiast.
9His great grandfather, politician William Windom (1827-1891), served in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate as a Republican for Minnesota; later became Secretary of the Treasury under James Garfield and Benjamin Harrison. His own character of Glen Morley in The Farmer's Daughter (1963) was also a congressman from Minnesota.
10Five-year-old William Windom was a pupil of kindergarten teacher Margaret Hamilton until she threw him out for rambunctious behavior.
