Michelle Williams was so intensely focused on her acting career that she went to the extent of seeking legal emancipation from her parents when she was 15. Before the separation, Michelle Williams made her feature debut in Lassie (1994) and followed it up onscreen with Species (1995).
After appearing in A Thousand Acres (1997) – a drama inspired by King Lear, Michelle Williams caught everyone’s attention as a teenager named Jen Lindley on the WB’s hugely popular Dawson's Creek (1998-2003). The role established her as a talented actress in which Williamson beautifully expressed the contradictions of contemporary youth.
Name : Michelle Williams Gender : Female Date of birth : Sep 09, 1980 City : Kalispell, Montana Country : United States During the period when Dawson’s Creek was in hiatus, she returned to the big screen as the teen female lead of the "Halloween: H20" (1998). In a departure from the convention followed by earlier films belonging to this genre, Williams remained fully dressed throughout the film. Her next film was a comedy, Dick, a story about two girls who stumble upon President Nixon's Watergate dealings.
In 2005, she starred in the widely acclaimed gay cowboy romance, Brokeback Mountain. Her role in the film made her former school - Santa Fe Christian School in San Diego, California – disown her.
It was during the making of the film that she became romantically linked with co-star Heath Ledger. It is believed that they secretly married on January 24, 2007. Their daughter Matilda was born on October 28, 2005 in Brooklyn, New York. The grapevine has it that the couple were so desperate to move into their newly acquired New York home before she gave birth to their daughter Matilda, they flew the seller first class all the way from Australia to sign the paperwork.
When not working, the home-schooled actress is fond of reading. Williams was chosen as one of Teen People Magazine's 21 Hottest Stars Under 21 in 1999.
