Biography

Rex Williams, a distinguished individual of Welsh heritage, made his entrance into the world in the bustling metropolis of New York City, specifically in the year 1917. His father, Walter J. Williams, played a pivotal role in shaping his life's trajectory. The early stages of Rex's professional journey were characterized by his remarkable achievements on the Broadway stage in New York, where he honed his craft and garnered widespread recognition. This initial success, however, was merely a precursor to his bold decision to make the daring transition to Hollywood in the 1930s.

Rex, a multifaceted and accomplished individual, made a lasting impact in the entertainment industry as a renowned film and stage actor, showcasing his remarkable talent and versatility in a wide range of roles.

In addition to his illustrious career in the spotlight, Rex also demonstrated a profound aptitude for the visual arts, effortlessly transitioning between the mediums of painting and sculpture, leaving an indelible mark on the world of art.

Throughout his life, Rex called the enchanting city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, his home, residing there for over two decades, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty and rich cultural heritage that the city has to offer.

Tragically, Rex's remarkable journey came to a close at the tender age of 89, leaving behind a legacy that will be cherished and remembered for generations to come.

Rex's enduring legacy is perpetuated through the collective endeavors of his five remarkable sons, Peter, Christopher, Patrick, Matthew, and Stephen, who have dedicated themselves to upholding their father's esteemed reputation and preserving his remarkable achievements.
