William "Bill" Foster Hayes III, born on June 5, 1925 in Harvey, Illinois) is an American dramatic actor and singer who had a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as others on the top 40 Billboard Chart.
Career
Mr. Hayes was a singer on the Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca variety show Your Show of Shows in the early 1950s. During the Davy Crockett craze in 1955, three recorded versions of the Ballad of Davy Crockett were in the top 30. Hayes' version was the most popular, and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. He also starred on Broadway in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Me and Juliet (1953). He had other small hits in the 1950s including "The Berry Tree" and covers of "High Noon" and "Wringle, Wrangle". "Wringle Wrangle" was his only other Hot 100 hit, reaching #33 in 1957.
However, in addition to a successful recording career, Hayes is best known for his long-running role as Doug Williams on Days of our Lives, the character he created in 1970, and has played ever since. His singing career also found its way to his storyline on Days of our Lives; in the story, Doug was introduced as a convict who was also a lounge singer.
The character of Doug returned in 1986 and 1987, as well as 1993 and 1996. Most recently, he has been on the show since 1999. His character was killed off in the spring of 2004 by Dr. Marlena Evans (This was done to reduce the show's budget). In an elaborate plot hatched by head writer James E. Reilly, Doug Williams turned up alive on a tropical island and went home to his wife. He has appeared on the show in a recurring basis since that time.
Personal life
Hayes graduated from DePauw University with a double major in music and English and became a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
He has been married to fellow Days of our Lives co-star Susan Seaforth since 1974. His character's partnership with Seaforth's character, Julie, is widely considered to be the first supercoupling on the American daytime serials.
Their relationship was so popular that they were featured on the front page of Time magazine in 1975, the first and only soap opera stars to hold that distinction to date.
In 2005, the couple published their joint autobiography, Like Sands Through The Hourglass.
Hayes was previously married to Mary Hobbs from 1947 to 1969 and share five children.
