- Warren William was a Broadway and Hollywood actor, born the son of Freeman E. and Frances Krech, Warren William Krech in Aitkin, Minnesota. He had a certain physical resemblance to John Barrymore. He attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After moving from Broadway to Hollywood in the silent period, he reached his peak as a leading man in early 1930s pre-Production Code films. He was a contract player at the Warner Bros. studio and was known for portraying amoral businessmen, lawyers, and other heartless types, including the Sam Spade character (renamed "Ted Shane") in the first remake of The Maltese Falcon, called Satan Met a Lady (1936) with Bette Davis. He also played sympathetic roles, however, as in Imitation of Life, in which he portrayed Claudette Colbert's love interest. He appeared as her love interest again that year, when he played Julius Caesar to her Cleopatra in Cecil B. DeMille's version of Cleopatra. And he was the swashbucking D'Artagnan in the 1939 version of The Man in the Iron Mask, directed by James Whale. William was the first to portray Earl Stanley Gardner's fictional defense attorney Perry Mason on the big screen and starred in four fast paced, comical, and highly entertaining Perry Mason mysteries. He also played Raffles-like reformed jewel thief The Lone Wolf for Columbia Pictures beginning with The Lone Wolf Spy Hunt (1939) with Ida Lupino and Rita Hayworth, and he starred as detective Philo Vance in two films in that series, 1934's The Dragon Murder Case and 1939's The Gracie Allen Murder Case. In 1923, he married Helen Barbara Nelson; Mrs. Helen B. Krech - who also survived him - was three years his senior. Warren William died on 24 September 1948 in Hollywood, California of multiple myeloma. For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Warren William has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1551 Vine Street.
- Warren William war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler. William, der Sohn eines Verlegers, wollte zunächst Journalist werden, ließ diesen Plan jedoch fallen und besuchte die American Academy of Dramatic Arts, um Schauspieler zu werden. Während des Ersten Weltkrieges diente William als Soldat in Frankreich und schloß sich nach Ende des Krieges einer französischen Theatergruppe an. In den 20er-Jahren spielte er am Broadway und in einigen Stummfilmen. Den Sprung zum Tonfilm schaffte William mit Honor of the Family, im Jahr 1931. In Cleopatra 1934, spielte er den Cäsar. In einigen Whodunit (Wer war es?) Filmen spielte er unter anderen Perry Mason. Oft spielte William skrupellose, rauhbeinige Charaktere, war jedoch im Privatleben ein eher schüchterner Mensch. Joan Blondell sagte über William: Er war ein alter Mann, selbst als er jung war. Im Jahr 1948 starb Warren William, dem zu Ehren auf dem Hollywood Walk of Fame, an der 1559 Vine Street, ein Stern gewidmet ist, in Encino an Krebs.
