- William Gaxton was born on December 2, 1889 in San Francisco, California, USA. He was an actor, known for Best Foot Forward (1943), 50 Million Frenchmen (1931) and It's the Old Army Game (1926). He was married to Madeline Cameron. He died on February 2, 1963 in New York City, New York, USA.
- SpouseMadeline Cameron(October 17, 1918 - February 2, 1963) (his death)
- Found a magical pairing on the Broadway musical stage with actor Victor Moore (1876-1962). They teamed in seven: the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Of Thee I Sing" (as Wintergreen), "Let 'Em Eat Cake", its sequel, "Anything Goes", also with Ethel Merman, "Leave It to Me!" with Mary Martin, "Louisiana Purchase," "Hollywood Pinafore," and "Nellie Bly." Gaxton was the handsome, debonair, rather aggressive cynic and Moore usually his hilariously bumbling, incapable sidekick. They appeared once in film together, The Heat's On (1943), with Mae West, but it didn't have the same spark.
- Served in the U.S. Navy during World War I.
- Vaudeville song man and hoofer who appeared in a few Hollywood films of the '30s and '40s.
- Cousin of Leo Carrillo.
