Biography
Adam (Anderson) West is Notable.
William was born in 1928. He is the son of Otto West Anderson and Audrey (Speer) Silvo.
He breathed life into Batman. Adam West was born Billy (William) West Anderson in Walla Walla, Washington, to parents Otto West Anderson and his wife Audrey. At age 10 Adam had a cache of comic books, and "Batman" made a big impression on him--the comic hero was part bat-man (a la Count Dracula) and part world's greatest detective (a la Charlie Chan and Sherlock Holmes). When his mom remarried to a Dr. Paul Flothow, she took Adam and his younger brother, John, to Seattle. At 14 Adam attended Lakeside School, then went to Whitman College, where he got a degree in literature and psychology. [1]
West was married three times. During his last year of college he married his college girlfriend 17-year-old Billie Lou Yeager in 1950. [1] The couple divorced six years later. In 1957 he married Cook Island dancer Ngatokoruaimatauaia (Frisbie) Smith (bef.1937-abt.2006) part of the Puka Puka Otea in Hawaii. They had two children before their divorce in 1962. West then married Marcelle Tagand (Lear) West (bef.1952-) in November 1970. They had two children and remained together for more than 46 years, until Adam's death. West also had two step-children. [2]
