Billy Dee Williams was born in Harlem in 1937 and grew up in a household of love and sophistication. He writes of landing the role of a lifetime: co-starring alongside James Caan in Brian's Song, the made-for-television movie that was watched by an audience of more than fifty million people. And when, as the first Black character in the Star Wars universe, he became a true pop culture icon, playing Lando Calrissian in George Lucas's The Empire Strikes Back. A legendary actor, in his own words, on all that has sustained and carried him through a lifetime of dreams and adventure.
