Bill Robinson cause of death

He died on August 6 in his Malibu home after a protracted illness, according to his family.

I know Bill for a long time…since 1959.” We met while I was performing on Gary Moore’s show. When I was doing my act, he later became my manager. But not only my boss. He was one of my best buddies on the planet. “I adored him… and I shall miss him,” Burnett said in a statement.

After serving in the United States Army during the Korean War, he went home, answered an ad for an NBC page, and was hired. During his time at NBC, he met Ida Lupino, who encouraged him to become an agent.

He followed her advice and secured a job in the MCA mail department, where he worked as an apprentice under the great Lew Wasserman. He swiftly advanced to the position of the talent agent, representing small-time musical talents throughout the Southwest.

He finally landed at the Kurt Frings Agency, where he handled Audrey Hepburn. Later, he went to Ashley-Famous Agency, where he established his name before becoming independent with Ted Ashley’s consent and a $50,000 contribution to assist him to get started.
