William Douglas Lansford, a renowned writer, emerged into the world on July 13, 1922, in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California, USA.
He is most notably recognized for his impressive contributions to the world of television, particularly his work on the iconic series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in 1987.
Prior to this, he had already made a mark in the film industry with his involvement in the 1968 productions of "The Big Cube" and "Villa Rides".
Lansford's personal life was filled with love and commitment, as he was married to not one, but two remarkable women - Ruth Louise Ketcham and Jean Brooks.
Unfortunately, his life came to a close on May 22, 2013, in the beautiful coastal neighborhood of Playa del Rey, Los Angeles, California, USA.
