Michelle Williams

Where you’ve seen her:
As sexually adventurous Jen on The WB's smash hit Dawson's Creek, and in the movies Dick, But I'm a Cheerleader, Prozac Nation, The Station Agent, The Baxter, and Brokeback Mountain.

Shirt tales:
“We learned to have fun with the name (Dick). We even had caps on the set that said I DID DICK THIS SUMMER AND GOT PAID FOR IT. And T-shirts that said I LOVE DICK, with a little heart symbol. I wear mine proudly.”

Girl on girls:
“I have played lesbian in a movie. I have tried it in private too!”

Indie chick:
“I don't mean to be snobby about my choices but I just like the scripts better, and I like the people that are involved better. Being on Dawson's Creek for seven years was like doing a giant blockbuster. I really have that totally out of my system. I've done my big movie for the rest of my life.”
