About William Gaxton
- William Gaxton (née Arturo Antonio Gaxiola, December 2, 1893 – February 2, 1963) was a star of vaudeville, film, and theatre.
- Gaxton was president of The Lambs Club from 1936 to 1939, 1952 to 1953, and 1957 to 1961.
- He and Victor Moore became a popular theatre team in the 1930s and 1940s; they also appeared in several films and shorts together.
- Although a fine vocalist, Gaxton's strength was his comic timing, and he often requested songs of his be removed from shows in favor of giving him more time for comedic scenes.
- An example of this was the removal of "Easy to Love" from Cole Porter's Anything Goes .
- The song reappeared in the show 53 years later, sung by Howard McGillin in the 1987 Broadway revival.
