In a galaxy not so far away, where the stars of the silver screen mingle and memoirs spill tantalizing tales, Billy Dee Williams, our beloved “Empire Strikes Back” heartthrob, has stirred the cosmos with revelations from his new memoir, “What Have We Here?”. Known for his smooth portrayal of Lando Calrissian, Williams shares an intriguing encounter with none other than Marlon Brando, cinema’s quintessential “Godfather”.
At a soiree in Brando’s abode, amidst the glitterati and the echoes of Hollywood’s golden era, Williams found himself in a library tête-à-tête with the legendary actor. The air, thick with the scent of old books and unspoken intentions, hinted at Brando’s desire to kindle more than just intellectual banter. But Williams, ever the gentleman, navigated the flirtation with grace, affirming his preference for the company of women.
This isn’t the first brush with admiration Williams has encountered; his charisma magnetizes affection from all corners. “I’ve been getting hit on all my life,” he shared with PEOPLE, a testament to his allure that transcends boundaries. His openness to the myriad ways love presents itself is refreshing, embodying a spirit that celebrates connection over convention.
Williams’ memoir not only recounts tales of Hollywood’s seductive whispers but also delves into deeper dialogues, from leftist politics with Brando to cherished moments with James Baldwin, the literary giant and Williams’ dear friend. It’s a mosaic of experiences that paints a portrait of a man who’s not only a fixture in cinematic history but also a connoisseur of life’s rich tapestry.

In 2019, Williams’ musings on gender fluidity sparked whispers of a queer identity, a narrative he later clarified, celebrating the harmony of masculine and feminine energies within us all. His stance is clear: love and identity are personal journeys, and while his path may not lead to romantic liaisons with men, his heart and mind remain open to the diverse spectrum of human experience.
As “What Have We Here?” hits the shelves, readers are invited into the inner sanctum of a man whose life is as captivating as the roles he’s graced on screen. Through love, friendship, and the occasional flirtation, Williams reminds us that the essence of our stories lies in the connections we forge and the hearts we touch along the way.
