He also did some freelance jobs for Liberian Broadcasting Corporation.

Uncle George was born in 1929 to a famous lawyer, Francis Awoonor Williams whose ancestors are from Sierra Leone and his late mom, Nora Rosemond Awoonor Williams.

He continued to explore and further acquainted himself with all the areas of showbiz. He then went to the Buddy Bradley’s School of Stage Dancing at the west end of London, one of the famous schools at the time, to learn how to dance but surprisingly, ended up acting rather.

Uncle George left behind five children.
