Biography

Rex Williams, a talented individual of Welsh descent, was born in the vibrant city of New York in the year 1917, to Walter J. Williams. He began his illustrious career in the city that never sleeps, acting on the iconic Broadway stage, before making the bold decision to relocate to the sun-kissed streets of Hollywood in the 1930s, driven by his passion to shine on the Silver Screen.

Beyond his impressive achievements as a film and stage actor, Rex demonstrated his versatility and creativity by exploring his artistic side, honing his skills as a painter and sculptor. For over two decades, he made Santa Fe, New Mexico his home, until his passing at the ripe age of 89.

Leaving behind a lasting legacy, Rex is fondly remembered by his five sons: Peter, Christopher, Patrick, Matthew, and Stephen, who continue to carry on his artistic and creative spirit.
