Film producer.

By the early 1930s William Bellinger Hawks was a Hollywood theatrical agent and as such brought novelist William Faulkner to his brother Howard Hawks' attention in 1932, becoming Faulkner's Hollywood agent.

He created United Producers Corporation in 1940 with Charles Boyer, Ronald Colman, Irene Dunne, Anatole Litvak and Lewis Milestone. They intended to produce ten movies for RKO Pictures. "My Life with Caroline" was the first of the intended series, thus William became a film producer.

He was a member of the United States Croquet Association and was inducted into their Croquet Hall of Fame in 1981, as was brother Howard in 1980. He often played with actor George Sanders, also a 1980 inductee. Hawks most often played with a Jaques mallet.
