Michelle Williams struggled to shake Dawson’s Creek image
My Week With Marilyn actress Michelle Williams has revealed how she found it rather difficult to shake the image that she had developed from her Dawson’s Creek character Jen. Michelle claims that she experienced quite a fair amount of typecasting, due to the sexuality of her character and that she wanted to move away from that, so that people could see that she was capable of playing more than one type of character.
Williams explained, "I wouldn't say that that would be one of my first qualities as a human being - being sexy. I think because my character on Dawson's Creek was sexy… sexualized… sexual… I saw all the negative attention and connotations that can come along with that. And that those things can keep people from seeing you clearly."
Michelle Williams has previously admitted that she would definitely be interested in being involved in a one off Dawson’s Creek special, should the opportunity ever arise. Katie Holmes has also stated that she could see the possibility of a Dawson’s Creek reunion being fun. However, James Van Der Beek has not seemed as enthusiastic as the rest of his co stars.
