Veteran TV producer Bill Geddie, who launched “The View” with Barbara Walters and served as her longtime collaborator, has died. He was 68.
Geddie’s family attributed his death Thursday to “coronary related factors.”
“He was a big deal in TV, but at home he was an even ‘bigger than life’ husband and dad,” his family told Variety in a statement.
“He had a genuine love for television and entertainment. He would try everything and did it well — screenwriting, recording podcasts, playing guitar, writing songs, and loved a wide range of music from country to jazz. His favorite band was The Beatles, and he never thought he would have the opportunity to meet one of his personal heroes Paul McCartney in person, but his dream came true. The question wasn’t who did he meet, but rather who didn’t he meet?”
Geddie, a recipient of the Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Award, was executive producer of “The View” from its inception in 1997 to 2014.
