THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS Actor William Wintersole Dead at 88
Veteran actor William Wintersole has died at the age of 88 on Nov. 5. Soap fans will remember him from his longtime recurring role as attorney Mitchell Sherman on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, a part he played from 1986 until 2011. He also appeared as Ted Ballantine on GENERAL HOSPITAL back in the early ’80s. “I had the pleasure of working with Bill for many years,” tweeted Y&R‘s Kate Linder (Esther). “My thoughts are with his family. He was a true professional.”
Mitchell Sherman’s most prominent client was Katherine Chancellor, and he was also a corporate attorney at Newman Enterprises. As Katherine’s right-hand man, Mitchell helped her deal with numerous legal troubles over the years. When attorney Amanda Sinclair arrived in Genoa City in September of 2019, she revealed to Devon Hamilton that Mitchell had passed away.
