The Top 10 Most Famous People With the Last Name of Williams
Article by Larry Truett
For the past year and a half I’ve been compiling a list of famous people for my name numerology website. These are all noted individuals, but who are the most famous? Today let’s count down the most famous people with the last name of Williams.
The most famous people (based on online chatter) with the surname Williams are:
10. Andy Williams – Singer (Moon River, Where Do I Begin?, Happy Heart)
9. Tennessee Williams – Playwright (A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Glass Menagerie)
8. Vanessa Williams – Actress and former Miss America (Eraser, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, Ugly Betty)
7. Michelle Williams – Actress (Dawson’s Creek, Brokeback Mountain)
6. Hank Williams – Singer and Songwriter (Lovesick Blues, Hey Good Lookin, Your Cheatin’ Heart)
5. Venus Williams – Professional Tennis Player and Champion
4. John Williams – Classical Composer and Conductor (film scores for Star Wars, Harry Potter, Raiders of the Lost Ark)
3. Robin Williams – Actor and Comedian (Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society, Good Morning Vietnam)
2. Robbie Williams – Singer and Songwriter (Sing When You’re Winning, Escapology, Intensive Care)
…and the most famous Williams is…
1. Serena Williams – Professional Tennis Player and Champion
Not making the top ten list were Lucinda Williams – Singer and Songwriter (Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, World Without Tears, Little Honey), Montel Williams – Talk Show Host (The Montel Williams Show), Cindy Williams – Actress (Laverne and Shirley), Victoria Williams – Singer and Songwriter (Crazy Mary, Century Plant), Betty Williams – Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Zelda Williams – Actress (House of D, Were the World Mine), Sunita Williams – NASA Astronaut, Raineesha Williams – Actress (Reno 911).
This top ten list was more mixed than usual with one writer, two athletes, three actors, and four musicians. I believe this is the first time a classical musician has made it into the top ten, but John Williams is no ordinary classical musician. While he may be unfamlliar to many Americans, Robbie Williams is a huge star in Europe as his number two Williams ranking proves. It’s fantastic to see Tennessee Williams, a playwright, up in the top ten. Literary figures are certainly holding their own in the “Famous People” lists I’ve done thus far.
We have two sets of closely related people on this list. Tennis Champions Serena and Venus Williams are sisters. Actor and comedian Robin Williams is the father of actress Zelda Williams.
I compiled this list by searching for each of the Williams on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.

I am not sure where you would be able to meet her but I think it’s so tragic that her ex-fiance and daughter’s father died. How sad and what a great talent he was as well.

Williams’ Empathetic Take on Marilyn Trumps the Evocative Film’s More Superficial Elements,
The real Marilyn Monroe was an inch and a half taller than Michelle Williams, a significant difference when one considers that there is no way Williams could have replicated the voluptuous physicality of Monroe’s presence. Yet, the young actress does something quite unexpected in capturing the essence of Monroe’s wounded psyche for all its frailties and doing a convincing job of conveying the public Marilyn for all her breathy sensuality in this modest 2011 showbiz tale. Directed by British TV veteran Simon Curtis and written by Adrian Hodges, the film depicts a minor piece of motion picture lore based on the memoirs of Colin Clark, who was a lowly “third assistant director” during the production of the Ruritanian romance, The Prince and the Showgirl. The mostly forgotten 1957 movie marked Monroe’s attempt at being taken seriously as an actress in a well-publicized collaboration with Sir Laurence Olivier just after she married playwright Arthur Miller.
The story really begins with Monroe’s arrival in London to start filming. Fully devoted to Lee Strasberg’s school of Method acting, she constantly searches for her character’s motivation even within the context of a soufflé-light drawing room comedy. With sychophantic acting coach Paula Strasberg constantly by her side, she is chronically tardy on the set keeping her distinguished British company of thespians waiting for hours. Monroe’s already renowned insecurities become heightened by Olivier’s abrasive impatience as not only her co-star but her director. As a witness to her undeniable aura, the young Colin becomes smitten as he is assigned to be her protector when she begins to bond with him after Miller returns to New York. This leads to a getaway visiting Windsor Castle and Eton College before a comparatively more confident Monroe returns to the set. The film is bookended by Williams’ fearlessly entertaining takes on the Monroe classics, Irving Berlin’s “Heat Wave” and Harold Arlen’s “That Old Black Magic” (although completely out of their original context).
Williams tackles the impossible with her empathetic performance as Monroe, and she manages it with aplomb without resorting to outright impersonation. One deliberate exception is the enchanting little dance she does as her character in the movie within the movie – she mimics Monroe perfectly in those few moments. Eddie Redmayne plays the callow Colin to the best of the screenplay’s workmanlike limitations since the only hint of complexity is breaking the heart of the young costumer played in a fetching manner by an underused Emma Watson. As Olivier, Kenneth Branagh captures the ego-driven bluster and measured speech cadence of the legendary actor, but he is also underserved by Hodges’ script. Judi Dench again steals her scenes as a fellow scene-stealer, Dame Sybil Thorndike. Barely making a ripple in the story are Julia Ormond as Olivier’s then-wife, Vivien Leigh, with just a hint given of her descent into madness, and Dougray Scott as a taciturn Miller. For all its flaws, the film is worth seeing for Williams’ mesmerizing work, for example, the scene where she romps through the English countryside conveying Monroe’s sense of freedom in a way that recalls a similarly poignant scene in The Misfits.

|Two great performances make this a must-see.,
Simon Curtis’ “My Week with Marilyn” tells all in the title. It’s the story of Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), an aristocratic, well-ccnnected young Englishman, and how he had a brief fling with Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) while serving as a production assistant on the film “The Prince and the Showgirl.” The film, though very well-made, is pretty much a trifle, except for the astonishing performances of Williams and of Kenneth Branagh as Laurence Olivier.
Seeing production stills before I saw the movie, I didn’t know how Williams was going to bring off playing Monroe; with her round, girlish face, she looks nothing like Monroe, and being dressed, made up and coiffed in full Marilyn drag only emphasizes her lack of resemblance. But this turned out to make no difference, for Williams becomes Monroe to the life, capturing her incandescence, her crippling insecurities, her manipulative flirtatiousness. If there is a more consistently impressive young American actress than Michelle Williams, I don’t know who it might be.
Like Williams, Branagh bears no physical resemblance whatever to the world-famous actor he’s playing, though his resume makes him a natural to play Olivier (even down to his directing and starring in his own versions of “Hamlet” and “Henry V”). Branagh nicely captures Olivier’s magnificence of voice and gesture, but even more, he captures something of Olivier’s soul. Watch Branagh’s close-ups, and particularly his eyes; on several occasions his eyes have that wild, imperious look that Olivier alone had, and no other actor in cinematic history.
I was less impressed with Eddie Redmayne; he was likable, but essentially just Richie Cunningham with a posh accent. The rest of the players, though, are superb. I was particularly gratified to see Judi Dench playing Dame Sybil Thorndike as a fount of thespian and worldly wisdom. Emma Watson, Derek Jacobi, Zoe Wanamaker, Philip Jackson, Toby Jones, Dominic Cooper and Julia Ormond also acquit themselves well. “My Week with Marilyn” is well worth seeing as a splendid showing for British Rep, as well as one American interloper.

|Well done!,
An aspiring young filmmaker spent a short time in 1956 on the set of a Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe film as an assistant director. He became close to Marilyn as many men had, and ended up a key figure in the production. Marilyn Monroe was notoriously difficult to work with in Hollywood and that is well-dramatized here. Michelle Williams IS Marilyn Monroe in this one and her performance highlights a realistic look at the difficulties that Marilyn had with trying to be a serious Hollywood actress while dealing with her insecurities and a prescription drug habit. This film was a pleasant surprise and another terrific movie to see during the holiday season.
