William J. Lederer, a prolific writer, entered this world on March 31, 1912, in the bustling metropolis of New York City, New York, USA. His literary career was marked by a diverse range of works, including the iconic novel "The Ugly American" (1963),the humorous "The Skipper Surprised His Wife" (1950),and the critically acclaimed television series "Ensign O'Toole" (1962).
Throughout his life, Lederer was united in matrimony to two remarkable women, Ethel Hackett and Corinne Lewis. Together, they shared a deep and abiding love, which was a constant source of strength and inspiration for Lederer throughout his life.
Tragically, Lederer's remarkable journey on this earth came to a close on December 5, 2009, in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, USA. His passing left a void in the lives of those who knew and loved him, but his legacy continues to inspire and entertain readers and audiences to this day.
