My Take

Edy Williams fascinates me as a survivor of a very particular corner of cinema. A Salt Lake City native who became a fixture of Russ Meyer's world, married to him from 1970 to 1975, she lived a life where art and biography fully overlapped. Cult films like his split audiences, and holding the screen amid that excess takes real nerve. What I find most memorable is her instinct for self-presentation, the way she treated a red carpet as her own stage long after the films ended. I have a soft spot for performers who commit completely to their own myth, and she clearly did, on her own terms.
