Billy De Wolfe

Although versatile in musical comedy, he is perhaps best remembered for his portrayal of Willard Jarvis, Doris Martin's boss on "The Doris Day Show" (1968).

Was cast in the role of foppish dress designer Madame Lucy in the revival of the musical Irene, opposite Debbie Reynolds, but had to withdraw during pre-Broadway tryouts when his health took a turn for the worse. Veteran character actor George S. Irving replaced him and went on to win a Tony Award for best featured actor in a musical in 1974, the year of De Wolfe's death.
