Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars, Brian’s Song) joins us this week to reflect on his incredible legacy in this industry - from the importance of his casting as Lando Calrissian in Star Wars, to his chemistry with Diana Ross, and why he’s steadfast with his unique creative approach rather than playing the victim. Truly appreciate Billy Dee coming on the podcast as a self admitted ‘private person,’ his honestly about dark times in life and the idea of not dwelling on the negatives was refreshing. Tons of stories about the golden age of Hollywood in this episode, hope you enjoy and make sure to check out his book What Have We Here?

The scene where Diana Ross first sees Louise Mckay/Billy Dee come into the club and walks down the steps, STILL takes my breath away...heart be still! I was 14 the first time I saw the movie. Begged my mother like I was begging for my life because it was rated "R" —which WAS a big deal in those days if you weren't 17 or older, if I'm remembering correctly...lol. Anyhow, I recently bought myself a copy of this masterpiece because I couldn't find it anywhere online to stream. I'm 66 now, and THAT scene still takes my breath away AND when he HANDS her, her tip while she's performing...OMG! 🤩 There is nothing more magnificent on this earth than a Black man! Yeaah, baby, absolutely nothing...

There are no couples who have ever had as much chemistry on screen together as Billy Dee Williams and Diana Ross. To this day. I have seen tons of films and none of them have ever beaten that combination. Not one.

Brian's Song is the only film which, whenever I've heard it described by men, they consistently say it made them cry.

The interviewer is as bad as the rest of us who decide to "ship" characters.
