I miss Bill and The Golden Years of Hollywood. I used to watch the movies he presented every Friday and Saturday nights and learned so much about the behind the scenes of old Hollywood. When l wrote to him as a young teen about my love for Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHavilland he wrote back and l was so happy. It's such a sad loss and a shame these wonderful old films and all their history is being forgotten now Bill's gone.
His passionate introductions almost ran as long as the films he spoke about. Fascinating and gifted. A star in his own right. Sailing high without asking for comments, likes or subscribers. Yep.
His review of You Only Live Twice - and his fawning over the volcano sceen - was searing into my memory 35 years ago... so damn passionate. A legend. RIP Bill.
