Sad to say, one more death in the Hollywood family. Veteran actor William Windom, whose credits include the role as the prosecuting attorney in the classic 1962 film TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, has passed away at the age of 88. More details here:

All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt

Yes, this was a Night Gallery episode; it aired on January 20, 1971.

Windom also portrayed Creek Johnson in director John Sturges' 1967 Wyatt Earp saga HOUR OF THE GUN.
