In A New Documentary, DAYS OF OUR LIVES’s Bill Hayes Looks Back On His Storied Career.
In a new documentary about his life, called World By The Tail: The Bill Hayes Story, DAYS’s Bill Hayes takes a look back at his 70 years in showbiz. The passion project, which was conceived by his grandson,
David Samuel, was an emotional experience for the performer. “It’s a thrill,” he beams. “It makes me cry. It’s just wonderful. It talks about things that are close to me.”
Samuel first approached his grandfather about the film four years ago. “David wanted to do some kind of a documentary and looked around and found a producer/director named Lee Levin,” Hayes recalls. “Lee and I met at Du-par’s [in Los Angeles], had a pancake breakfast, and we talked about me and my life and he just took notes and started from there. We got some family films from my early life and he put everything on his computer and started from scratch. It’s just been an exciting time for me. We kind of book-ended the documentary with me writing this song called ‘World By The Tail’, which I feel I have. It’s just been great.”
