What have we here? : portraits of a life / Billy Dee Williams.

Summary:

In 'What Have We Here?', film legend Billy Dee Williams recalls his remarkable life of nearly eight decades-a heralded actor who's played the roles he wanted, from 'Brian's Song' to Lando in the 'Star Wars' universe-unchecked by the racism and typecasting so rife in the mostly all-white industry in which he triumphed. In this intimate, joyful, and inspiring memoir, Williams reflects on his love of painting; his love of women; his full embrace of life; on being a husband and father; and on all that has sustained and carried him through a lifetime of dreams and adventure.
