William Anthony Vinton, a renowned producer and director, entered this world on November 17, 1947, in the charming town of McMinnville, Oregon, USA. Throughout his illustrious career, Vinton made his mark in the film industry, leaving an indelible impact with his work on Closed Mondays, a 1974 masterpiece, Moonwalker, a 1988 cinematic sensation, and Return to Oz, a 1985 beloved classic.
In his personal life, Vinton was married not once, not twice, but thrice to the loves of his life: Susan Shadburne, Gillian Allred, and Bevan Vinton. Tragically, his life came to a close on October 4, 2018, in Portland, Oregon, USA, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and entertain audiences to this very day.
