Beverly D'Angelo on Instagram: "TREAT WILLIAMS My heart and deepest sympathy to Pam, Gil and Ellie - his deeply beloved family- he placed you above everything always, setting an example of loving and living that inspired everyone he knew to be a better person. And I join with all those who are grieving the loss of this magnificent man, so talented, so dedicated so joyful in his devotion to his art. We started our journey together with the film “Hair“ brother and sister from the start. Went through that tunnel together - bonded when the light scorched with its attention in the first flush of being “discovered”. 1977, on a brief hiatus while shooting Hair. Treat had gotten his instrument rating - “come on” he said. We went to the hanger at Teeterborough as we strapped in he said “don’t be scared” so I wasn’t, not at all. He piloted us above the Hudson, keenly focused - a master at 25. NYC looked like jewels below and the stars were shining like a million promises 1983. Set of Streetcar named Desire. Don’t be scared he said and so I wasn’t at all. On and on and on through the years. Always revisiting the old and welcoming the new. Inside jokes and outward affection. Such a beautiful friendship I’m sharing a screenshot of our last text exchange, so recent I was thanking him after our last phone call minutes earlier, I wanted to memorialize it I guess - We always gave each other pep talks like the kids we had been. But this conversation had been particularly encompassing - we talked about the wrap party he’d just come from, how it feels to have such a depth of experience, and yet … the changes we’ve seen as actors, directors, where do we fit, the importance of adapting, growing, family, how to love, apple orchards, wild flowers, health hacks, longevity, politics, gossip, Milos Forman, everything, what came before what lies ahead. Treat. Treat. Brother Friend companion on the path A gifted sincere magnificent human who valued fatherhood and family above all I am so grateful that last thing he heard from me was “ Treatski, ….just love you “ Treat. I hope you hear everyone singing your praises Treat I will miss you I cry for you Fly" | Zootzle
