William Spier
William Hannan Spier (October 16, 1906 – May 30, 1973)〔(Biodata ), ancestry.com; accessed September 29, 2015.〕 was an American writer, producer, and director for television and radio. He is best known for his radio work, notably ''Suspense'' and ''The Adventures of Sam Spade''.
Born in New York City to a Jewish father and a Presbyterian mother, Spier began his career on the editorial staff of ''Musical America'' magazine, eventually becoming its chief critic. He was married to Mary Scanlan, with whom he had three children: Peter (deceased), Greta, and Margaret. He was later married to Kay Thompson from 1942–47, and to June Havoc from 1948 until his death in 1973.〔

His radio career began in 1929, when he produced and directed ''The Atwater Kent Hour'', an hour-long Sunday night presentation of Metropolitan Opera artists. In 1936, Spier created ''The March of Time'', which was to become a radio landmark. Among the many stars associated with the program were Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Van Heflin, Agnes Moorehead, Jeanette Nolan, Nancy Kelly, and Everett Sloane.
Spier was chief of the writers' department and director of development at CBS in 1940, when he was co-producer of ''Suspense'' and ''Duffy's Tavern''. In 1947, he won a Mystery Writers of America award for ''The Adventures of Sam Spade''. A 1949 magazine article said Spier "is generally rated radio's top-notch creator of suspense-type dramas."
