Jill Townsend and Nicol Williamson



Jill Townsend was married to actor Nicol Williamson for a good part of the 1970s, though the pair had met years earlier. In the mid-1960s, they had appeared in the Broadway production of the play Inadmissible Evidence. With a ten year age difference between them, in that play he played her father (she would return the favor years later when she briefly appeared as his mother in flashback scene from his movie The Seven-Per-Cent Solution).

Their marriage only lasted six years and apparently didn't end all that well. However, the following newspaper clipping from December 1970 is from a better time in Jill Townsend and Nicol Williamson's relationship. Take a look:
