William Windom, the personification of Thurber

  - would have been 100 today. 

The New York-born actor is probably best known (certainly on this side of the pond where the series is on constant repeat on at least two of the digital channels) as Murder, She Wrote's world-weary GP, Dr Seth Hazlitt

However, he has a long string of credits and first made an impact as "John Monroe" in My World and Welcome to it, inspired by the writings of James Thurber. So close was the inspiration in fact that one took Monroe to be an idealised version of Thurber himself.
