THOUSAND OAKS : Sisters to Sing With Pop Star at Super Bowl

Two budding entertainers from Thousand Oaks will be among those performing with pop superstar Michael Jackson during the singer’s Super Bowl halftime show at the Rose Bowl on Sunday.

Dana and Davida Williams, ages 3 and 6 respectively, will be two of the six “V.I.P. children” who will stand in front of Jackson singing his “Heal the World” anthem. The girls will sing along with Jackson and some 3,500 other young people who will also take part in the performance, said David Williams, the children’s father.

David Williams has been a guitarist for Jackson for the past 12 years.

Although the audience for the Jackson fete will be the children’s biggest, it will not be their first. The sisters have modeled, appeared in national commercials and recently, Davida finished filming “Younger and Younger,” a soon-to-be-released movie starring Donald Sutherland, said Debra Williams, the siblings’ mother.

To keep on top of things, Davida has a manager and an agent as well as an acting coach, Debra Williams said.

“This takes a lot of time and a lot of commitment for them,” Debra Williams said Friday afternoon before she shuttled Davida from her elementary school to an audition at Warner Bros. in Hollywood. “But they have fun or else they wouldn’t do it.”

The Super Bowl and halftime show will be held in front of a crowd of 102,000 people and a television audience estimated at 1 billion worldwide.
