Michelle Williams Praises Her Dawson's Creek 'Grams' In Moving Gotham Awards Speech

She also acknowledges she wouldn't be where she is today 'without having first played Jen Lindley' (via toofab)

"I was an emancipated minor when we met. I was 16 years old, and I was totally alone," Williams continued."Mary Beth Peil was the first artist that I had ever met in my life. She didn't call herself that, but there is something different about her. It was the way she asked questions, the way that she leaned into conversations, and how excited she seemed for every moment of every day on our TV set.

As the two began to bond during filming, Williams said she began to learn more about Peil's storied career -- which included being an opera singer, Tony nominee and mother while crossing over"from TV to film to theater like she was changing trains at rush hour." Added the actress,"She could do anything."

"She lived an artist's life, she was brimming and bursting with energy and she showed me that creativity was more than a mere profession. And all of this vitality was miraculously turned in my direction. Her smiling face was looking at me, and she called me her girl," she continued. Williams said it was Peil who told her all about"New York f---ing City," telling the then-young star she should move there and"build a life." The actress also credited her mentor will encouraging her to do theater.
