Who is jett williams

Adkinson was born in Montgomery, Ala. Her mother, Bobbie Jett, was in a relationship with the 'Hey Good Lookin'' hitmaker, but they never married. It wasn't until that the Alabama State Court officially ruled she was the daughter of the country great, and in , she was entitled to her half-share of the Williams estate.

She is a half sister to Hank Williams, Jr. Home News. The actress' sudden passing at the age of 32, left many puzzled — then her husband died in the exact same way five months later, leaving more questions than answers.

Inspired by her father's inability to read, the country singer founded the Imagination Library to help kids develop a love of books and reading. The rock star was reveling in the success of a solo career, when the unimaginable happened, ending the life of his close friend and musical confidante Randy Rhoads.

There have been many personal changes as a result of the pen strokes that have brought her closer to her real father. She has adopted a stage name made up of the last names of both her natural mother Bobbie Jett and father.

She moved from Montgomery to Washington after she met and married Adkinson. And she has long since ceased being a recreation officer and embarked on a singing career that emulates that of her father, including singing his songs, and wearing white, his signature color.

You win a father and you never saw him. Her story is different in several respects from that of the typical adoptee. Although her natural parents were not married, they never planned to put her up for adoption. This document had been hidden for 30 years and came to light in circumstances that Adkinson will not divulge except to say that it was found in in Montgomery. In , five days before his daughter was born, Williams died in the back of a baby blue Cadillac.

The cause of death, though never definitely established, has been presumed to have been from complications brought on by alcohol and drug addiction. He was 29 years old. However, Hank Williams had considered what would happen to his daughter should he not be around to take care of her personally. He had asked his mother, Lillian Stone, to adopt the child should such a situation arise. This she did. But her action did not protect the little girl, then called Cathy Yvonne Stone, from the state adoption system.

In a second twist, Lillian Stone also died a short time after the adoption was legal. Contacted by telephone in Texas, Irene Smith said she did not want to comment. As part of her battle to assemble the truth about her past, Williams has had to face unpalatable facts.

You have to prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario. Shortly after they met, Adkinson had the idea that Williams should consider a singing career and saw to it that she was introduced to country music producers in Nashville.

Owen Bradley, who produced Patsy Cline and other country stars, listened to her sing and felt she had potential. Williams received voice coaching and took steps toward her own singing career.
