But "bo9s" is a tough word to describe easygoing, millionaire singer-t- v producer Andy Williams. Andy is an easygoing, jocular sort of guy who has a way of getting exactly what he wants without "bossing." For instance, if someone on the show's production staff disagrees with the way Andy is handling a song or act, there's no stubborn Andy remains cool and does what the staff member wants. Usually he does it badly with the explanation, "I don't feel comfortable doing it that way. Did you notice that?" There's no argument: it's obvious the boss is right Andy has come a long way from Wall Lake, Iowa and in the same easy, calculated manner. His father and three older brothers made up the entire choir at the family church. The Williams' singing reputation grew, and the boys (Bob, Don, Dick, and Andy) began accepting offers to sing on radio shows. When the family moved to Chicago, they continued their radio careers and became well known. In 1946 the boys got together a nightclub act along with comedienne Kay Thompson, and they were on their way. The act broke up when two of the older brothers were drafted into the Army, leaving Andy to shift for himself in show business. From that point on, he has built himself up to become one of the top singing stars, his own producer, a basketball team investor, and a millionaire. The embarrassing part of success, in Andy's eyes, is his regular awards for his humanitarian efforts, which others insist on making public. He'd be the last to tell you he gave the proceeds of four of his albums to charity a gesture costing more than half a million dollars! "Lovo, Andy," for example, went to the Asthmatic Research Institute and Hospital, a research organization close to Andy's heart since his dad is an asthmatic and was so ill when they moved to California that he retired. He now handles investments. Andy's would to keep his personal like Andy life to himself. He's a devoted father to his remarkably attractive youngsters, Noelle Christine, 6, Christian Jay, 4, and the new baby, Robert Andrew (named for Robert Kennedy). He tries to get up each morning to have breakfast with the two older children real-esta- te 4 Family Weekly, December 28, 1969 p ov Andy and wife Claudine Longet. since he is at his office aiound 8 o'clock and doesn't get to see them sometimes until the next breakfast meeting. What spare time he has is devoted to golf, which he shoots in the mid 70s. He also plays a lot of tennis, usually before going to work, and swims whenever he he can. Andy drives the first his and back in 1965, wife, singer bought Claudine Longet, has a Mercedes. "The kids and the dog have the Buick station wagon," he adds. But in spite of his easygoing appearance, Andy is a worrier. "Sometimes I start thinking at night and can't sleep. Then I take a tranquilizer never a sleeping pill. Or I read." Fortunately for Andy, his wife not only understands him, she understands the life he has chosen. The two met when Claudine came to this country from France to dance in Las Vegas. Her car had a flat tire, and Andy stopped to help. They were married Rolls-Roy- ce Dec. 15, 1961. In spite of the fact that she has become a very successful recording: artist in her own right, there is no competition between them. "I did tell her not to use my songs, however," Andy says, grinning. When they were first married, Andy used to tease her about her difficulty in comprehending English and often stopped in the middle of a conversation to prod his wife into an error. "What kind of car do we have, dear?" he'd ask. "A two-to- n comfortable," the bride would answer. Andy has mentioned more than once that he'd like nothing better than to tackle a dramatic role. But if he failed, what would that do to his prestige? "Each person has to feel his way toward his own goal," he answered. "I simply feel that in making your way, you should give your fellow man respect. In return, you will get respect." PEER J. OPPENHEIMER |
