I remember when Michelle Williams played the role of Jenn Lindley on Dawson's Creek years and years ago. I wasn't really a fan of her because she posed as a threat to Dawson & Joey's friendship (James VanderBeek & Katie Holmes). So lame, haha!

Jenn was new to the small town of Capeside, and was known as the girl who grew up too fast and led a more experienced life, coming from New York City and all.

That was probably the role that put her on the Hollywood map...almost 15 years ago!

After her WB Network days were over, I slowly started becoming a fan.

She seemed to have grown and matured with each film that she made.

I loved seeing the random photos of her life in New York City and what a doting mother she was to her daughter whom she had with the late Heath Ledger.

I had also learned that she grew up in San Diego. Always a plus!

And here she is present day, with an unending list of accolades from starring roles in a variety of movies. A lot of the movies she has done are not blockbuster hits, rather indie or small budget films that she has apparently been well recognized in.

Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine, Mammoth, Shutter Island

...and now My Week with Marilyn...

(It's going to the top of my queue when it comes out on video)

She won the Golden Globe Best Actress Award for that role the other day.

And her speech...it was so sweet! Her acceptance speech was so genuine and touching.

It just validates why I like her as an actress and a person in real life.

Michelle has come a long way and has definitely made a name for herself.

Yaaay for Michelle!
