Bill Edwards est un Acteur Américain né le 14 septembre 1918 à New Jersey (Etats-Unis)
Bill Edwards (September 14, 1918 – December 21, 1999) was an American film/television actor, championship rodeo rider, a (Smithsonian exhibited) multi talented artist and noted SCUBA diver.
Born in New Jersey, Edwards began drawing horses as a child and continued drawing as he grew up on a Wyoming ranch. From this lifestyle Bill was to become a championship rodeo rider. Broken bones brought his riding career to a halt, and the 6-foot-5 Bill Edwards became a model in New York City. An agent brought him to Hollywood in the early 1940s. He was under contract to Paramount Pictures for nearly a decade, after which he turned to art.
In addition to Western films, the blonde, blue-eyed Edwards had featured roles in "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" and "Hail the Conquering Hero" - both released in 1944.
In the 1950s Edwards became a painter. He did illustrations for Hanna-Barbera and Disney as well as creating the artwork for numerous book and novel covers. Bill was commissioned by the United States Air Force Art Programto paint recruiting posters and paintings of Air Force planes and combat scenes. Several, such as one entitled "Generation Gap," were exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution, the Pentagon and a traveling Air Force exhibit. Bill had an illustrious career as an artist, and he became best known for his paintings of the Old West. His works were sold at numerous galleries throughout California and the Southwest, and many of his paintings of the Old West hang in private collections.
In January, 1946, Bill married the love of his life, Hazel Allen, to whom he was married for 53 years. Bill died December 21, 1999 at the age of 81 in Newport Beach of pneumonia caused by an illness that affected his muscular system. He was survived by his wife, Hazel, and his daughter, Linda Edwards.

Dirigeant le programme anglais de conquête spatiale, le militaire Charles Prescott envoie son frère, le lieutenant Dan Prescott, dans l'espace à bord du premier avion supersonique jamais construit. Mais Dan souhaite beaucoup plus que de devenir le premier homme dans l'espace. Indiscipliné et cabochard, lorsqu'il traverse l'ionosphère, il repousse les limites en refusant de faire demi-tour comme l'a demandé son frère, s'éloignant un peu plus de la Terre. Le pilote pousse son avion expérimental aux limites jusqu'à atteindre une hauteur de 600.000 pieds. Il utilise même les propulseurs d'urgence pour aller encore plus loin. Mais, ayant perdu le contact radio avec sa hiérarchie, et seul dans l'immensité du cosmos, son avion est traversé par des rayons cosmiques mortels avant de s'écraser sur Terre. Dan est porté disparu, présumé mort.
