- Treat Williams passed away
- His performance in 'Hair' remains unforgotten
- This is how he looked as a hippie
The movie 'Hair' starring Treat Williams, John Savage and Beverly D'Angelo is the film adaptation of the musical of the same name. It was released in 1979 and delighted a large audience around the world.
It tells the story of "Claude Hooper Bukowski" (John Savage), who is supposed to go to the Vietnam War and meets a hippie group on the way to the draft. The meeting with "George Berger" (Treat Williams) and his friends changes the life of the young man.
This is how Treat Williams looked in his younger days in 'Hair'
Born in December 1951, Treat Williams was 28 years old when he suddenly became world famous with 'Hair'. What did he look like in the film back then?
As a true hippie, the young actor naturally needed a wild mane on his head. The curly hair of the young star certainly melted some hearts at that time.
The coolness that his role radiated impressed the audience. The scene in which "Berger" begins to dance and sing on the table remains unforgotten.
The loyalty of the hippie was equally moving. The scene in which "George Berger" goes off to the Vietnam War for his buddy and sings the song "Let the Sunshine In," which his friends later continue to sing at his grave, became a classic movie moment.
Treat Williams died June 12, 2023, after a motorcycle accident. At the time of his death, he was 71 years old. His performance in 'Hair,' for which he received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Young Actor at a young age, will always be remembered by fans.
