Rest in peace, William Windom.

The television actor, who received an Emmy Award for his work in My World and Welcome to It and is well-known for his roles on Star Trek and Murder, She Wrote, died in his California home from congestive heart failure on Thursday, according to the New York Times.

Windom was 88.

In addition to the shows listed, my first memory of him was a show called "The Farmer's Daughter", about a US Congressman (or was he a Senator) from Minnesota, who hired a girl from back home to care for his children and mother after his wife died. Inger Stevens was the Nanny, and Agnes Morehead played his disabled mother. (I think this was BEFORE "Bewitched").

Another great actor who had a long career playing characters rather than Leading Men.

Finally read his bio - his Father was a Congressman from Minnesota. Wonder what else about that show is art imitating life?

Sad to hear. RIP.

Thanks for posting.
