"I became a general. How I became a general? I still don't know to this day. I don't know how I went from Lando Calrissian, who was, like, running Vegas, to a general!" said Williams. Williams said this role was handed to him but it came after he had proven himself. There was the TV movie "Brian's Song" in 1971 in which he starred opposite Diana Ross. Then, the next year in "Lady Sings the Blues" and again a few years later in "Mahogany."
"I was lovely and charming and all that kind of stuff and I had a kind of a reputation and a kind of presence," said Williams. "That's what they wanted and that's what they got." Williams has an autobiography on the way he is currently calling, "Well, What Have We Here...Portraits of My Life." It's a line he borrowed from "Star Wars." He said it's a fun and interesting book."Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" is in theaters Friday through "Star Wars" Day, also known as May the Fourth.Copyright © 2023 OnTheRedCarpet.com.
