‘Star Wars’ Alum Billy Dee Williams on His Legendary Career and ‘Philandering’ Ways
Billy Dee Williams can’t figure out how his life has worked out so well. “I’m always chuckling about myself. I think much of my life is dictated by chance and happenstance,” says the actor, 86. “When I was a kid, I read Catcher in the Rye, and with the main character I said, ‘That’s me, just kind of bumbling through everything.’ There were moments when I wanted to go right, and something would say, ‘No Billy, go left.’ I guess I learned to trust my instincts.”
