Helena (Phillips County) native William Warfield was a world-class bass-baritone known for his roles on stage, screen, and television. He began a successful singing career in 1946 but is perhaps best known for his role in the Hollywood production of Show Boat, in which he sang the song “Ol’ Man River.” Warfield once described himself as “an Arkansas boy from tip to toe.”
