Early Life of Marry Luana Williams

Mary Luana "Lulu" Williams was born on October 13, 1967, in one of the cities in the United States of America. As per her Date of Birth, she belongs to Libra's birth sign. As she was born in the USA, Luana is an American and belongs to the Afro-American ethnicity. She is the fifth daughter of her parents, Randy Williams and Mary Williams. Both of them were members of the Black Panther Party (BPP), an organization dedicated to stopping police brutality toward African-Americans and helping African Americans who lacked employment, education, and healthcare.

Luana's family lived at the heart of the movement in East Oakland, California, during the height of the Vietnam War, Race riots and the Civil Rights Movement, in an era Mary would later describe as "violent and frenzied." Her father was a captain within the Panthers' militaristic hierarchy and participated in the controversial Armed Citizens' Patrol, where Panthers would tail police and patrol neighborhoods, ready to defend any black people they saw being threatened by police.

In 1970, Luana's father Randy and other Panthers witnessed several police officers arresting four black marijuana suspects, and they intervened, ambushing and wounding three of the officers before fleeing.

 Randy was apprehended, charged with assault with intent to murder and given a seven-year sentence at a Correctional Training Facility (CTF) near Soledad, California. At the time, Mary was four. Her mother was left to care for Luana and her five siblings, eventually becoming physically abusive while descending into alcoholism.

Adopted daughter

American actor Troy Garity, Fonda's biological son with activist Tom Hayden said that Mary is an adopted daughter in an interview. In 1982, she just came down to live with them at the age of 14, and they accepted her to live with them. 

No adoption papers were made, and Luana just lived with the Fonda family for the rest of her adolescence and into young adulthood. They raised her along with their children, Vanessa Vadim and Troy, as one of their kids and made her a part of the Fonda family. It took time for her to transition to the affluence of Fonda's world.

Personal Life; Single, Dating, or Married?

It is quite difficult to tell whether Lulu is married or single, or in a relationship at the moment. It seems she is living a single life as there isn't any kind of information regarding her boyfriend or partner over the internet. Furthermore, her father, Randy, was arrested for the assault of murder and charged with a seven-year sentence at a Correctional Training Facility in California. She was just four when all this happened.
