    About this audiobook

    Versatile actor William Conrad had a long career (1945-1993) and was an American World War II fighter pilot, actor, producer, and director whose career spanned five decades in radio, film and television. He appeared in nearly 8,000 radio shows during the golden age and when TV beckoned, he delivered, starring in Cannon (1971-76), Nero Wolfe (1981) and Jake and the Fat Man (1987-1992). He also narrated the television adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (1959-1964) and The Fugitive (1963-1967). He starred in numerous films, including the The Killers (1946), Body and Soul (1947), Sorry, Wrong Number (1948), Joan of Arc (1948) and The Naked Jungle (1954). His most popular role on radio was United States Marshal Matt Dillon on the long-running adult western series Gunsmoke (1952-1961).
