'Hair' star Treat Williams: This is what became of him
Treat Williams celebrated his big breakthrough with 'Hair'. At that time he was in his late 20s and had an outstanding career ahead of him.
Other successful productions included 'The Empire Strikes Back' (1980), 'Everwood' (2002-2006) and 'Chesapeake Shores' (2016-2022). He was active as an actor until his death. A tragic accident suddenly took his life on June 12, 2023.
Treat Williams was riding a motorcycle in the U.S. state of Vermont. While turning, a car cut him off, as his longtime manager confirmed to 'People'. The actor succumbed to his injuries. Treat Williams was survived by his wife Pam Van Sant and his two children. He lived to the age of 71.
This is what became of the other 'Hair' stars
The story of 'Hair' revolved around "Claude Hooper Bukowski" (John Savage), who joined "Berger". What became of performer John Savage?
Just like Treat Williams, he has appeared in over 100 film and TV productions in the course of his career. These include 'Star Trek: Starship Voyager' (1999), 'Dark Angel' (2000-2001) and, since 2020, 'SEAL Team'.
Privately, John Savage was married to actress Susan Youngs from 1967 to 1969. The two have two daughters together. One of them, Jennifer Youngs, is also an actress.
After the failed marriage, he walked down the aisle again in 1993 with actress and nurse Sandi Schultz. This relationship did not last either. Since 2008 he has been in a relationship with actress Blanca Blanco, who is 32 years younger.
