孔雀香皂的一位代表在一份声明中向《娱乐周刊》证实:“我们怀着沉重的心情与大家分享我们亲爱的比尔·海耶斯的去世。”死亡原因尚未公布。

“I have known Bill for most of my life, and he embodied the heart and soul of Days of Our Lives,” executive producer Ken Corday said. “Although we are grieving and will miss him, Bill’s indelible legacy will live on in our hearts and the stories we tell, both on and off the screen.”

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.
 出生于伊利诺伊州哈维。1925年，海耶斯在舞台和银幕上获得了巨大的成功。作为一名才华横溢的歌手，他于1949年在奥尔森和约翰逊的喜剧系列《全民欢乐火球》中首次亮相，然后在20世纪50年代初在希德·凯撒的《你的秀》中担任主唱。1953年，他在罗杰斯和汉默斯坦的《我与朱丽叶》中首次亮相百老汇，多年来，他将继续出演多部舞台剧，包括《再见，小鸟》、《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年的热门肥皂剧《我们的日子》中创造了一个被定罪的骗子出身的酒吧歌手道格·威廉姆斯的角色。道格将成为该剧中出现时间最长的角色之一，在接下来的53年里出现了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.
他的角色的故事线——道格坠入爱河并开始与朱莉·奥尔森(苏珊·西福斯饰)约会——是该剧70年代最受欢迎的情节之一。在银幕之外，海耶斯和西福斯也开始了他们自己的恋情，并于1974年结婚。两年后，他们的“超级情侣”也跟随他们走上了婚姻的殿堂，在剧中喜结连缘，甚至还在1976年成为《时代周刊》关于肥皂剧受欢迎程度的封面故事。

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.
在接下来的50年里，海耶斯和西福斯离开后又回到了这个系列赛。在2018年的日间艾美奖颁奖典礼上，他们都因在淋浴器上的工作获得了终身成就奖。

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. 
除了演艺事业，海耶斯还是一位有天赋的歌手。他翻唱的单曲《大卫·克罗克特的歌谣》曾出现在美国广播公司的电视连续剧《迪斯尼乐园》中，并在1955年登上了公告牌排行榜的榜首，此后，玛丽·威尔逊、蒂姆·库里和他们可能是巨人等艺术家都曾翻唱过这首歌。
