Join esteemed actor Billy Dee Williams for an unforgettable evening at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore. As part of the Brown Lecture series, Williams will share his remarkable life story spanning nearly eight decades. From his iconic roles in films like Brian's Song and the Star Wars franchise, Williams has defied the racial and typecasting barriers that plagued the predominantly white industry. Born and raised in Harlem, Williams discovered his passion for the arts at a young age, making his stage debut alongside Lotte Lenya. He honed his craft through formal training, studying painting and acting with renowned mentors like Herbert Berghoff, Stella Adler, and Sidney Poitier. It was Paul Muni who imparted wisdom that propelled Williams' acting career, encouraging him to embrace any character he desired, regardless of his background or appearance. Williams reflects on his groundbreaking performance in Brian's Song, a trailblazing interracial love story. His portrayal of Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars universe further solidified his status as a pop culture icon. Williams invites us to delve into his extraordinary journey filled with dreams and adventure. Doors will open at 6 pm, and registered attendees will have the opportunity to secure a seat in Central Hall on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, all registered in-person attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Williams' book. Please note that there will not be a book signing following the program. To make your visit hassle-free, free parking vouchers are available for program attendees who park at the Franklin Street Garage after 4 pm. Mark your calendars for this exclusive event featuring the legendary Billy Dee Williams. Stay tuned for ticket sales starting December 4th at 12:00 PM.
