| General info : | | William Hamilton (June 2, 1939, Palo Alto, California, U.S. - April 8, 2016, Lexington, Kentucky, U.S. (aged 76)) was an American cartoonist and and playwright who contributed to magazines such as Vogue and The New Yorker.
Hamilton was noted for his wit and irony and for presenting his characters, most often examples of modern, affluent types, with distinctive "ski-jump" noses noted for a peculiar shape that has become a sort of unofficial trademark.
In 1969, Hamilton married Candida Vargas, granddaughter of Getúlio Vargas, dictator of Brazil. They separated in 1976. The disintegration of his marriage prompted his turn to playwriting, and his first play Save Grand Central was "about the middle of the end of a marriage." Hamilton's plays document the same world as his cartoons, and sometimes recycle lines from his cartoons. His play White Chocolate has been described as "a farce about race and class in the upper echelons of New York society."
Hamilton married Eden Collinsworth in 1986. The marriage produced a son and ended in divorce circa 2001.
Hamilton married Lucy Young Hamilton in 2003. Hamilton died in a car accident in Lexington, Kentucky, on April 8, 2016. He was 76. He was survived by his wife, along with his children Gilliam Collinsworth Hamilton and Alexandra Hamilton Kimball. | |
