If you are a fan of the shows Blue Bloods or Everwood or perhaps have seen the Milos Forman adaptation of the musical Hair, you’re likely familiar with the name Treat Williams.
Sadly, Williams recently passed away at the age of 71.
According to CNN Entertainment, Williams passed away on Monday night after being injured in a motorcycle accident.
The crash involving Williams took place around 5PM on Monday when the driver of a car tried to turn left into a parking lot and hit Williams, who was on his motorcycle. Williams suffered critical injuries, was airlifted to a hospital in New York, and was unfortunately pronounced dead.
Williams starred in a variety of films and other projects including a TV movie remake of “A Streetcar Named Desire,” and Michael Ovitz in the HBO movie that was based on the book “The Late Shift.” He ultimately earned an Emmy nomination for that role.
He was on “Chicago Fire,” and more. Interestingly, Williams also wrote a kids’ book called “Air Show!” It was published by Disney-Hyperion back in 2010 and follows the story of Ellie and Gill as they go to an air show.
Williams is survived by his wife and their 2 children. We send our condolences to the family and those grieving his loss during this time.
Loved his performances. That is so sad. Condolences to his wife and children.
