William David Powell Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
William Horatio Powell (July 29, 1892 – March 5, 1984) was an American actor. He typically played highly self-confident characters, with a sophisticated sense of humor and wit.A major star at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, he was paired with Myrna Loy in 14 films, including the popular Thin Man series based on the novels of Dashiell Hammett in which Powell and Loy played Nick and Nora Charles. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times: for The Thin Man (1934), My Man Godfrey (1936), and Life with Father (1947).
After suffering from depression, hepititis and kidney problems which had forced him to quit writing, he committed suicide by stabbing himself repeatedly in the upper body whilst in the shower. He left a four paged note addressed to his father, of which only the last two sentences ("Things aren't so good here. I'm going where it's better") were revealed to the public. He was laid to rest at Cathedral City's Desert Memorial Park in Riverside County, California.
