William 'Bill' Mullikin made his Broadway debut in the hit 1952 musical revue, New Faces, his film debut in Hell is for Heroes, but the highlight was his role as 'Cornelius Hackle' in Hello Dolly!, a role that he played across the U.S. and internationally, opposite such "Dollies" as Ginger Rogers, Dorthy Lamour, Martha Raye and Phyllis Diller.
