Born in New York City in 1937, Billy Dee Williams has had a long and diverse career that has encompassed acting, painting, writing, and even the release of Undeniable, his own Avon fragrance. He is however, most renowned as the actor who starred in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as Lando Calrissian. His breakout role was in Lady Sings the Blues, with Diana Ross. Williams also starred in such films as Batman, Brian's Song and Nighthawks with Sylvester Stallone. I also saw him in a episode of The Jeffersons. Among his myriad interests, Williams has had a long fascination with psychic phenomena and psychic readings and most recently he's teamed up with award-winning author Rob MacGregor to write PSI/Net -- a novel based on an actual government program of psychic spying.
He lives in Los Angeles, California.
