Treat Williams Dated Actresses in the past Yet Fell for Waitress - He Loved Her for 35 Years until His Last Breath

• Treat Williams was killed in a motorcycle accident. He died aged 71.
• The versatile actor is survived by his wife, Pam Van Sant, whom he fell for while she was still a waitress. Pam later became an actress.
• Treat adored his kids and was proud of them. He supported their careers and celebrated them on their birthdays.

Talented and versatile actor Treat Williams was well-known for playing Dr. Andy Brown in the drama "Everwood."

Treat had a successful acting career for almost half a century, and he received two SAG awards nominations for his work in "Everwood."

Sadly, the actor's life was cut short as he died on June 12, 2023. The 71-year-old was killed in a motorcycle accident in Dorset, Vermont.

The actor's family said in a statement that they were shocked and greatly bereaved by his death. They added that Treat was full of love for his family, life, and craft:

"It is all so shocking right now, but please know that Treat was dearly and deeply loved and respected by his family and everyone who knew him. We are beyond devastated and ask that you respect our privacy as we deal with our grief."

The family told his fans that the actor appreciated them. They also asked his fans to pray for Treat and keep him in their hearts.

Less than an hour before his death, Treat shared a video on Twitter about the life of a "real Vermonter." The video showed a farmer on a plowing tractor tending to his field.

Treat had always been vocal about his love for Vermont, both in winter and summer, and the affection he had for its honest, real, and good-humored people.

The "Deep Rising" star has left behind his wife, Pam Van Sant, and their two kids, Gill and Elinor.

A week before Treat died, he posted on his Instagram a picture of Elinor and captioned it, "I miss you, daughter."

Treat Williams Met His Wife When She Was a Waitress

Before Treat met and married his wife, Pam, he was linked to actress Laura Dern. Treat also dated Dana Delany for four years.

The actor admitted that he, Dana, and other group of actors were mostly out late and enjoyed a party scene. The group of actors' social life revolved around Café Central, an early 1980s New York hot spot.

Some of these other actors included Bruce Willis, who was sometimes a bartender, and Al Pacino and Peter Weller, who were regulars at the hot spot. Peter and Treat later opened a spinoff restaurant.

Treat revealed that among everyone in the group, he was the party animal, "I was the guy who locked the door at night."

The actor had a time when he was actively engaged in productions, but at one point, he was inactive. It is during this time, when he was largely absent from movie screens, that he met Pam, who he had been married to since 1988.

When Treat met Pam, she was waitressing in a New York restaurant. She later became an actress, and in 1995 she featured in the television series called "American Masters."

After getting married, they welcomed their first child, a son, Gill, in 1992 and their second child, a daughter, Elinor, in 1998.

Pam, Treat, and their two kids lived a private life in Manchester Centre, Vermont, and Park City, Utah.

Treat's acting career prospered compared to Pam's. However, the actor's wife supported him by accompanying him to many public events that promoted his projects.

Pam attended premieres for television series and shows and would, on some occasions, bring their kids along.

Treat, who loved his wife, was never shy of displaying this affection for the public to see. One of the actor's last posts on Twitter celebrated Pam on Mother's Day:

"Happy Mother's Day Pam. You raised two extraordinary people. What a great mom you are. I am grateful."

In February 2023, Treat shared a throwback picture of him, Pam, and their two kids. He shared the picture as a tribute to his wife on her birthday. Treat wrote, "You are the love of my life. What joy you have given us. More adventures to come!"

On June 1, 2023, he shared another picture of Pam chilling in their living room and revealed that his wife redid the living room. "I love what she did. Actually I love her. Lucky me," he captioned.

On 2023 Mother's Day, Treat shared a photo of him and his wife where the two were all smiles and looked gray-haired. Pam was carrying their dog in the photo.

Treat Williams Adored His Kids

Treat was a proud father to his son and daughter. The actor brought his son along to many Hollywood events.

Gill was comfortable being in the spotlight as he went to many red-carpet events and movie premieres with his parents from a young age.

In 2019, he graced the red carpet for a 20th-anniversary screening of "Hair" at New York's city Metrograph Theatre.

In 2015, Gill took a similar path as his dad and featured in short films. Father and son even worked on one project, which Treat shared on Twitter and captioned, "Acting with my son Gill today. Life is perfect."

Gill graduated from New York University in 2015. He started a career in music and would share his beatboxes and song snippets on social media.

Aside from music, Treat's son is also an artist. He shares his works on social media. The creations mostly focus on social justice, including a drawing he did of George Floyd and other victims of police brutality in the US.

Treat supported his son's pursuits and commented on one of his drawings, "My son did this. Proud papa."

In 2022, when Gill was celebrating his 31st birthday, Treat shared a photo of his son and their dog, and captioned the post, "Happy Birthday my beloved Gill! I'm so proud of you."

Currently, 31-year-old Gill lives with his sister and mother at their home in Vermont.

Treat's daughter, Elinor was also familiar with film and TV sets from a young age. In 2015, Elinor visited the "Chicago Fire" set, and her father tweeted her picture, "My daughter Ellie was on set all day. You think she would be bored."

The 25-year-old attended The University of Vermont, and after she graduated, she moved to Los Angeles to spend more time with her father when he could visit.

Father and daughter recently visited Universal Studios. Elinor shared the post on Instagram and wrote, "Daddio and I went to the Wizarding World."

A week before Treat died, he posted on his Instagram a picture of Elinor and captioned it, "I miss you, daughter." Elinor replied in the comments, "Thanks dad I love you."

Treat cherished his son and daughter and spent lots of time with them. He also loved his wife deeply and took the time to celebrate and tell her how much he loved her.
