Born in Harvey, Ill., in 1925, Hayes enjoyed success on the stage and screen throughout his career. A talented singer, he made his television debut performing on Olsen & Johnson’s 1949 comedy series Fireball Fun-for-All before landing a recurring role as a vocalist on Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows in the early 1950s. In 1953, he made his Broadway debut in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Me and Juliet and, over the years, would go on to star in multiple stage productions, including Bye Bye Birdie, Anything Goes, and Camelot.
出生于伊利諾伊州哈維。1925年,海耶斯在舞臺和銀幕上獲得了巨大的成功。作為一名才華橫溢的歌手,他于1949年在奧爾森和約翰遜的喜劇系列《全民歡樂火球》中首次亮相,然后在20世紀50年代初在希德·凱撒的《你的秀》中擔(dān)任主唱。1953年,他在羅杰斯和漢默斯坦的《我與朱麗葉》中首次亮相百老匯,多年來,他將繼續(xù)出演多部舞臺劇,包括《再見,小鳥》、《一切都好》和《卡米洛特》。
Hayes originated the role of convicted con artist–turned–lounge singer Doug Williams on the hit soap opera Days of Our Lives in 1970. Doug would become one of the longest-running characters on the show, appearing in more than 2,000 episodes over the next 53 years.
海耶斯在1970年的熱門肥皂劇《我們的日子》中創(chuàng)造了一個被定罪的騙子出身的酒吧歌手道格·威廉姆斯的角色。道格將成為該劇中出現(xiàn)時間最長的角色之一,在接下來的53年里出現(xiàn)了2000多集。
His character’s story arc — which saw Doug fall in love and begin dating Julie Olson (Susan Seaforth) — was one of the series’ most popular plot lines in the ‘70s. Off screen, Hayes and Seaforth struck up a romance of their own, getting married in 1974. Their super-couple characters followed them down the aisle two years later, tying the knot on the show and even spawning a Time cover story about the popularity of soap operas in 1976.
他的角色的故事線——道格墜入愛河并開始與朱莉·奧爾森(蘇珊·西福斯飾)約會——是該劇70年代最受歡迎的情節(jié)之一。在銀幕之外,海耶斯和西福斯也開始了他們自己的戀情,并于1974年結(jié)婚。兩年后,他們的“超級情侶”也跟隨他們走上了婚姻的殿堂,在劇中喜結(jié)連緣,甚至還在1976年成為《時代周刊》關(guān)于肥皂劇受歡迎程度的封面故事。
Hayes and Seaforth would leave and return to the series over the course of the next five decades. In 2018, they were both honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards for their work on the sudser at the Daytime Emmy Awards.
在接下來的50年里,海耶斯和西福斯離開后又回到了這個系列賽。在2018年的日間艾美獎頒獎典禮上,他們都因在淋浴器上的工作獲得了終身成就獎。
In addition to his acting career, Hayes was a gifted singer. His version of the single “The Ballad of Davy Crockett,” which was featured on the ABC television series Disneyland, went on to top the Billboard charts in 1955 and has since been covered by artists including Mary Wilson, Tim Curry, and They Might Be Giants.
除了演藝事業(yè),海耶斯還是一位有天賦的歌手。他翻唱的單曲《大衛(wèi)·克羅克特的歌謠》曾出現(xiàn)在美國廣播公司的電視連續(xù)劇《迪斯尼樂園》中,并在1955年登上了公告牌排行榜的榜首,此后,瑪麗·威爾遜、蒂姆·庫里和他們可能是巨人等藝術(shù)家都曾翻唱過這首歌。
