Tonya Lee Williams was born in London, England. She lived there and Kingston, Jamaica, as a young child, before settling in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada with her family in 1969.

She began modeling in Eaton's catalogues as a teenager and, later, danced on the television series, Boogie. Upon graduating from Ryerson University in 1979, she landed the gig of host on the Canadian children's show, POLKA DOT DOOR. From there, things quickly began taking off for William, as she landed a myriad of TV guest spots and the recurring role of Linda on GENERATIONS opposite Kristoff St. John (ex-Adam; Neil, Y&R).
