Michelle Williams celebrates her 36th birthday today. She began acting at about 13, and her first big role was as Jen Lindley on Dawson’s Creek. She was one of the large cohort of young actors and actresses who first came to notice in the late 1990s in one or more of teen-oriented television series, high school romantic comedies, or hip horror films. Along with Mila Kunis, Williams has had the most successful career of all of this crowd (although the late Heath Ledger was doing well at the time of his death).
There were hints, during her Dawson’s Creek years, that Williams might be the one from that series to make it big, especially her delightful turn in the comic Dick, where her character crushes on Richard Nixon. But her big breakthrough, and her first Oscar nomination, came with the 2005 drama Brokeback Mountain:
Since 2005, for the most part Williams has steered clear of big-budget films, with the exception of Oz the Great and Powerful, preferring smaller, indie-style films. She was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for Blue Valentine and My Week With Marilyn, the latter of which brought her a Golden Globe. Other notable films for her have included Wendy and Lucy, which began her working relationship with director Kelly Reichardt, and Sarah Polley’s Take This Waltz. She made her Broadway debut in 2014 as Sally Bowles in Cabaret and was a Tony nominee this year for David Harrower’s Blackbird, and she has two more films coming out this fall.
