Billy Dee Williams was one of the greatest African-American matinee idols of the 20th Century. Billy Dee Williams had every woman swoon over him during the 1960's and even throughout the 1970's and 1980's. Every woman's fantasy. And every man wanted to be just like him.

Greatest Films:
"Brian's Song"-(1971)-w/James Caan.

"Lady Sings The Blues"-(1972)-w/Diana Ross and Richard Pryor. Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Actress Oscar nomination for Diana Ross' tour-de-force performance as Billie Holliday. Motown's first break into the movie business and it paid off very well.

"Mahogany"-(1975)-The last film great romantic film that Billy Dee Williams and Diana Ross would do together. Still powerful. Oscar nominated for Best Original Song
"Do you know?"(theme song from Mahogany)by Diana Ross.

"The Empire Strikes Back"-(1980)and "The Return Of The Jedi"-(1983)- As space raider Lando Calrissian alongside Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker defeating the evil Darth Vader.

I think Billy Dee Williams is the sexiest man of all time...He's gracious, talented, charming, intelligent and a painter! How sexy is that! My favorite productions are Lady Sings The Blues/Mahogany/Chiefs! I miss watching you on the big screen. Love you. Your bigest fan!
