Billy Dee Williams reflects on his return to StarWar, his life in showbiz and much more in our intimate interview
Williams is sitting on a bright-red couch under a black umbrella on the sun-splashed porch of a West Hollywood day spa owned by an old friend; a couple of the actor’s accomplished paintings hang inside, including an energetic portrait of a jazz club, which leads Williams to reminisce about the time he, Miles Davis, and Cicely Tyson attended a dinner at the Reagan White House.
Williams once said that in the Sixties, Sidney Poitier got most of the roles he wanted, which only demonstrated the paucity of parts for black leading men. He had a lot of fun that decade, living in New York and doing theater and television, but his slow-building film career ate at him, until he found a cure. “LSD saved my life,” says Williams, who’s otherwise firmly anti-drug. “I wasn’t doing it to get high. It let me get inside of myself.
