- William was a character actor, whose popularity was due to hundreds of appearances in soap operas.
Going from stage to screen, William had an undistinguished movie career in the '40s which ran out of steam after about four years.
But in the '50s, he would find his calling on the small screen. On Young Dr. Malone (1958), he played the father for five years. He was also cast in Another World (1964), The Edge of Night (1956), Search for Tomorrow (1951) and A World Apart (1970). One noteworthy credit was that he was part of the continuing cast on the first hour-long television drama series, The Mask (1954).
By the '70s and '80s, he appeared in a number of television mini-series and television movies. On stage, he appeared in plays by Eugene O'Neill and Edward Albee. - Music Department

David Sanborn is an American alto saxophonist.
Though Sanborn has worked in many genres, his solo recordings typically blend jazz with instrumental pop and R&B. He released his first solo album Taking Off in 1975, but has been playing the saxophone since before he was in high school.
One of the most commercially successful American saxophonists to earn prominence since the 1980s, Sanborn is described as "the most influential saxophonist on pop, R&B, and crossover players of the past 20 years." He is often identified with radio-friendly smooth jazz, but he has expressed a disinclination for the genre and his association with it.- Actor

While the latter was appearing in San Pedro, California, his band's name was shortened to the "Ted Mack Band" by the theatre manager who said there wasn't enough room on the marquee for all the original letters.
The only child of a railroad brakeman and a teacher, he credited his pianist mother (who died when Ted was 16) for his musical inspiration. Ted became a talent scout in 1935 for the Original Amateur Hour and first assistant to Edward Bowes who had taken it over soon after its 1934 inception. Mack took over the program when Bowes died in 1946 and began televising it over the 'DuMont Television Network'. It finally left the airwaves in 1970 after introducing about 10,000 amateurs, about half of which went on to professional careers, among them Vera-Ellen, Paul Winchell, Jerry Vale, Mimi Benzell, Pat Boone, Robert Merrill and Frank Sinatra. Neither Elvis Presley (who was auditioned in 1953) nor Tiny Tim were accepted for the broadcasts. Ted Mack lived in Irvington, New York and died one day after admission to the Phelps Memorial Hospital in North Tarrytown, New York. - Raymond C. Schindler was born in Mexico, Oswego County, NY and attended High School in Milwaukee. He started out as an insurance agent, switched to selling typewriters, tried gold mining in CA and later became a detective in the belief he would become a historian. He arrived in San Francisco in 1906 and answered an advertisement for college graduates who do historical research, though his education was limited to high School. He got the job and found that the research really made him more of a detective, then historian. He later assisted in the San Francisco graft investigation of 1907-1909. Mr Schindler became chief lieutenant to Willaim J Burns, a Secret Service man, and when Burns left the government and started the national detective agency, Mr Schindler became the New York office manager.
Schindler was one of the first investigators to use the dictograph, a new invention in 1911. He operated the Schindler Bureau of Investigation in New York City, which he opened in 1912, and was very highly regarded by Scotland Yard. He was one of the founders and a member of the Court of Last Resort, which helps in the administration of justice in cases of persons who have exhausted the ordinary legal remedies in efforts to prove themselves innocent of crimes. Schindler spent years investigating the still unsolved murder of Sir Harry Oakes in 1943. Schindlers work on the case cleared Sir Harry Oakes son in law, Count Alfred de Marigny, who was tried for the murder and acquitted. Schindler was believed by many Bahamians to know the identity of the slayer.
Raymond Schindler was the country's leading private eye for upwards of 50 years. He celebrated his own fame. He liked posh places and good company. He loved money, he made much money and spent lots of it. At the peak of his career, Mr.Schindler was better known as a man-about-town, a party giver, club-man, and New York character. He had a reserved table at The famous "21 Club" and the Stork, as many celebrities did in those days. In his time he was president of the Adventurers Club of New York, the president of the International Investigators, a fellow of the American Geological Society, the British Detectives Assn and the American Polar Society. In 1950, a book was written about him and his fascinating cases titled "The Complete Detective" by Rupert Hughes.
