Actor Treat Williams: versatile, rock-solid, widely respected. And now, gone. He died Monday in Dorset, Vermont, after his motorcycle collided with an SUV turning into a parking lot, according to Vermont State Police.
For Williams, the days preceding that day were typical of his family life in rural Vermont. Last year, in a Vermont Magazine feature, Williams spoke gratefully of his marriage to Pam Van Sant, and their two children. “Every day I wake up so grateful to see the view that I see out of my window and to be living up here,” he said. He and Van Sant married in 1988 and the union lasted 35 years.
He was 71.
