Suzzy Williams (died 8 September 2005, aged 23) was a well-known Ghanaian television and film actor. She starred in films such as Bloody Mary, Calamity, The Comforter and Mother's Heart. Her career as an actor was launched through the African hit film Together Forever, with a screenplay by US-based Ghanaian producer and screenwriter Leila Djansi.[1][2]

Education

Williams attended Tema Secondary School, where she was a member of the drama group and sang at entertainment programmes.[2]

Death

She died in a car crash at Labadi in Accra at the age of 23.[3] The accident happened on the La-Nungua highway on 8 September 2005 at about 1.30 am.[4] She was in the car with her boyfriend.[5] Because of her popularity, Ghana's Art Centre refused to allow her body to lie in state, fearing it would be unable to accommodate the large numbers of mourners expected.
