Michelle Williams
Michelle Ingrid Williams born September 1980 is an American actress. After starting her career with television guest appearances in the early 1990s, Williams achieved recognition for her role as Jen Lindley on the WB television teen drama Dawson’s Creek, which she played from 1998 to 2003. A starring role alongside James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson in hit teen TV drama, Dawson’s Creek (1998–2003), helped raise them to prominence. At age 17, Williams portrayed Jen Lindley, to whom she related because they both grew up “too fast.” For filming of the semi-autobiographical series based on its creator, Kevin Williamson’s childhood, she moved to North Carolina. In an interview with USA Today, she described her character as “this stable, happy-go-lucky girl still wrestling with demons.” She said that being on Creek enabled her to choose her projects, and has stated that she graduated to full-length features, including Halloween H20: 20 Years Later , Dick , and Prozac Nation . Michelle’s stage work has included Cabaret (2014) with Alan Cummings and Blackbird (2016) with Jeff Daniels.
