Season 18 ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Cast Revealed; Billy Dee Williams’ Still Smooth As Ever… Ms. Bels Thursday, March 6, 2014 The Script, Tune In When the new cast for this upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars” were revealed, I was more surprised about the Colt 45 man than the reality show queen. Apparently, Billy Dee Williams (age 76) is still alive and kicking because he will appear on Season 18 of DWTS. Yes! The smooth operator (with the good hair) from the beer commercials, “Mahogany”, “Star Wars”, and many other film classics is making a comeback. This time, however, Williams will be showcasing his smooth one-two steps on America’s favorite dancing show. Along with Williams, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes (age 46) will make her debut. I’m sure thousands of RHOA fans will be tuned in just to see what Mrs. Leakes can do (besides the obvious…twerk). Also, a few more familiar faces will fill out the cast: Drew Carey (age 55; “The Drew Carey Show”), Candance Cameron Bure (age 37; “Full House”), Danica McKeller (age 39; “The Wonder Years”), James Maslow (age 23; “Big Time Rush”), Diana Nyad (age 64; swimmer), Sean Avery (age 33; hockey player), Cody Simpson (age 17; Australian pop singer), Charlie White (ice skater), Meryl Davis (ice skater), and Amy Purdy (snowboarder). The 18th season of DWTS airs March 17th.
