BILLY DEE WILLIAMS – AGING WITH STYLE
Billy Dee Williams, born in the United States in 1937 and now 87 years old, was once one of Hollywood’s most striking faces. Back in the ’70s and ’80s, he was the charismatic Lando Calrissian in *Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back* (1980), and his smooth charm made him an unmistakable heartthrob. His fame grew with roles in *Lady Sings the Blues* (1972) and iconic Colt 45 commercials, defining an era of elegance and on-screen presence.
Time, however, has brought changes. Once a symbol of youth and vigor, today, in 2025, he shows the signs of age, with a quieter career after decades of success. He returned as Lando in *Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker* (2019), but the 2000s were more low-key, with a focus on painting and smaller roles. Married to Teruko Nakagami since 1972, Billy lives in Los Angeles, with an estimated net worth of $9 million. Far from financial woes, he maintains a low profile, appearing at nostalgic events and projects like voice acting. We don’t know if he’s seeking more limelight, but his calm suggests a man who enjoys life with the same class that made him famous.
