Here is the list of all William Powell movies.

William Powell was an American actor who appeared in over 100 films during his career. He was born on July 29, 1892, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. Powell served in the U.S. Army during World War I before pursuing a career in acting.

Powell began his acting career in silent films in the 1910s, but it wasn't until the advent of sound that he became a major star. He appeared in several successful films during the 1930s and 1940s, including "The Thin Man" series, "My Man Godfrey," "Libeled Lady," and "The Great Ziegfeld," for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

Powell was known for his suave, debonair persona and his ability to play both comedic and dramatic roles. He was also known for his distinctive voice and impeccable diction, which made him a popular choice for narration and voice-over work.

Despite his success in Hollywood, Powell was a private person who shunned the limelight. He was married three times, including to actress Carole Lombard from 1931 to 1933, and he was a devoted art collector and connoisseur.

Powell continued to act in films throughout the 1950s, but his health began to decline, and he retired from acting in 1955. He died on March 5, 1984, in Palm Springs, California, at the age of 91. Powell's legacy as one of Hollywood's most versatile and beloved actors has endured, and he remains a favorite of classic film fans to this day.
