Although it's been thought that Hawkins retired from acting in his late twenties, his actual last appearance was in his thirties on the 1974-75 TV series, Kolchak: The Night Stalker. He is the author of five books about the film It's A Wonderful Life, served on The Jimmy Stewart Museum Advisory Board and for 20 years served on the Board of Directors of the Donna Reed Foundation for the Performing Arts.[1] In celebration of the Frank Capra film, Hawkins and other cast members appear annually at the It's A Wonderful Life Festival in Seneca Falls, New York, the town thought to be the inspiration for the movie's setting of Bedford Falls.[2]
