William Murphy, also known as Bill Murphy, Bill 'Red' Murphy, Billy Murphy or William 'Red' Murphy was an American actor who appeared in many movies from 1944 until the 1970s.
According to Peter Guralnick, the eccentric actor was a long-time friend of John Wayne and Robert Mitchum and spent many nights together with Elvis Presley and his guys from the Memphis Mafia.[1]
[edit] Notes
- ^ Guralnick says that for Elvis and the guys "Hollywood was just an open invitation to party all night long. ... Nick Adams and his gang came by the suite all the time, not to mention the eccentric actor Billy Murphy, longtime friend of John Wayne and Robert Mitchum ..." See Peter Guralnick, Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley, p.72.
