Truth is, it seemed like my family were The Munsters!!! Especially when we'd all pile into my dad's 1970 Limo, with its big flashing fins, and park in the drive-in under a full moon.  I actually remember my dad howling like the wolfman. He was the funniest guy I ever knew.  He and his cousin Noel A. were true comedians when they got together.  I miss all the monsters, now that they're gone.

Read more about the Williams family monsters in my book, The Maybelline Story.  Its a fright night in parts!!! 

Also I haven't forgotten the Hedy Lamarr make-up bags.  They will be here soon.

Maybe the Williams were born that way,
or
Maybe its Maybelline!!

Filming the movie, Goodbye Norma Jean at Bill Williams Estate in Palms Springs. Excerpt from Sharrie Williams Diary.

The next morning, old classic cars, brought in on flat bed
trucks arrived at the estate, and the camera crew, producer, director, costume designer, set designer, and the producers wife and mistress. were all on the  set. Dad started freaking out, when he saw all the cables, strung across his manicured lawns, and I kept assuring him that any damage would be taken care of. I had some great old costumes, I'd collected over the years, and we all got our make up and hair done, then dressed for our parts.  We had no speaking parts, we were just background dressing for Norma Jean Bakers Scenes, but we added the feeling of wealth, and status, the director was looking for.  The scenes got a little steamy, with nude bath tub shots, and obvious sexual scenes that made the future Marilyn Monroe, look like a whore, but it didn't bother anyone of us.
