Michelle Williams - “Wonderland” Issue #12

Michelle Williams was interviewed by Wonderland magazine before the death of Heath Ledger. Here’s what she had to say:

Did you go to Katie Holmes’ wedding? Everybody wants to know that. No, I didn’t go because I was working on The Tourist. To be honest, we’re not really in touch.

How has becoming a mother changed you? I feel like I didn’t have any relationship with my body before Matilda. Well I did, but it was just a bad one. After having my daughter I can’t judge myself in the same way. My body has done this totally miraculous but utterly ordinary thing. The downside is that my vocabulary has shrunk to the size of a pea. Since having a kid I just don’t have the same access to the world. I don’t see as many shows, I don’t go to many movies and I hardly read any books anymore. I’m lucky to make it through a book a month. So you start to develop in a much more non-verbal way, which can be so frustrating. Also there’s been a lot going on in my personal life and part of me is… I don’t know. I shouldn’t talk about it but it’s like I’m re-emerging back into the world or something.

Would you describe yourself as vain? I have insecurity masquerading as vanity. I don’t think I’m vain as an actress but I’m probably more so as a person. Again, it goes back to that thing about when I’m working is the only time when I don’t judge myself. I feel totally open to exploring all the sides of my physical self in my work. While I’m working I really don’t give a f— how I look. Afterwards, if I have to watch it, I might have some problems.

What’s the day ahead hold for you? I’m going to pick Matilda up from school at 11:30 and she’ll take a nap. I might join her because tonight I’m doing hospital rounds in preparation for the film Mammoth. It’s Lukas Moodysson’s first English language film. I play a New York City trauma surgeon so I’ve been trailing a doctor for a few months. We’re going to step it up tonight and go to Elmhurst hospital in Queens, which is a top-level trauma hospital. The whole experience has been such an eye-opener. The first time I did it, I had this weird sensation where I thought, ‘Oh f—, I’ve missed my calling’. The sense of purpose made me wish I’d become a doctor.

I’ve most likely come at the end of this thread, and no-one will be here to read this. But I’d like to get this off my chest. I don’t know any of the stars being talked about here, I’m not their friend or relative… Don’t know what’s true or rumored. I do know something though, gained from personal experience.

It’s easy to stand in judgment of someone who doesn’t “stand by” a person with “anger management” issues or “substance abuse” problems WHEN you don’t live with them or know anyone who is struggling with WHY they have these “problems”. That’s beside the point.

To be an enabler means you have to take on the role of letting someone guilt you into buying the booze because “I’m in such pain I’m going to kill myself if I don’t get a drink!”. You get your soul sucked out of you because you are a good person who feels so bad that this person you love is hurting that against your better judgement you do it and keep doing it — you even take verbal abuse or a slap to the face because you’ve been told by DOCTORS NOT TO get them what they want because it’s KILLING THEM!

At some point an enabler has to STEP AWAY from the situation and save THEMSELVES from what the other person is doing or go insane! I know of people who lived with alcoholics, and went from enabler TO alcoholics themselves just to live with their “lot in life”. One girl I knew KILLED herself rather than be “responsible for LIFE” for her husband’s drug problems because of his “bad back”, and “can’t hold down a job”… Everyone told her it was her RESPONSIBILITY to TAKE CARE of HIM — Well, no-one took CARE OF HER!

And when kids are involved… What do you teach them? To take the blame for what someone else does. Each one of us are responsible for our own behavior FIRST then others, and they for themselves as well.

It takes a lot out of a decent person to BACK AWAY from a bad situation and say, “I will no longer help you destroy your life because you deny what’s going on here, and blame me. You’re on your OWN! Live or die… Are YOU strong enough to get HELP!”

I could most likely say the above better, but with this migraine… I’m lucky to be doing this much. So I’m out of here.

‘bye

Good for you rossy you are so right.

With a friend like Katie H’s who needs enemies. Tom may have met Keith — if thats true — butt they were not friends. KH rather hang around Posh and David (who have now kinda grab space away from them) .Tom controls the” who to be seen with,”and KH is going along with it.

Tom thought he could recruit the Beckhams. Probably thought the same about Michelle and Heath. Tom likes to be seen with what he percieves ”High Profile celebs ect–Beckhams-Will and Jada Smith–ect.. I for what am so glad Michelle isnt involve with those 2. Keep Matilda away from them Michelle. KH thinks she is better than Michelle, and Tom Im sure look down on Heath when he had a drug problem, remember how its rumored the grief Tom gives Nicole about Keith, Tom doesnt want their –never seen much adopted 2 near Keith. Michelle stay away from those 2, youre going through enough.

an excellent post.
thankyou for taking the time and effort to post even though you had a migraine. there’s no way i would have been able to type one sentence if i had a migraine! you’ve really done well.
and once again…a brilliant post. i hope many people do read it.

I’ve always heard that none of the Dawson’s Creek got along with Katie Holmes and Joshua. Katie was desperate to be THE front one and Joshua was totally in love with her. They jealoused James van der Beek and since he is said to be the nice guy who never fights with anyone it was Michelle Williams, Busy Philips and Kerr Smith who used to defend him. I don(t know about it accuracy, all I know is that Joshua Jackson has a big mouth and he often badmouthed James. Katie has always been a publicity ***** for me. She must be happy and fullfilled now that she is with Mighty Tom.

i love her she’s so talented (BROKEBACK) she’s beautiful smart pur real downtoearth ans STRONG but it souds that she has “ISSUES” …………….
she souds melancolic and kinda negative…………. but what i like the most about her is “SHE HASN’T GOT a FAKE SOUL”
god bless her and mathilda
RIP HEATH (HOPE YOU’re WITH ANGELS NOW……………..)

Naomie Watts and Heath Ledger dated for three years. They began in while they were making Ned Kelly. They’d met before that. Heath knew Tom Cruise.

Do you all keep in touch with everyone you ever worked with? They were colleagues. Just because they acted as friends on that show, doesn’t mean they were necessarily friends in real life.

She really seems to have a rational perspective about her life. Mathilda is lucky for that reason. I guess I’m going to have to root for this girl; she’s just very likeable.

She’s so beautiful. Makeup or no makeup.

“To be honest, we’re not really in touch.”

Haha, so it all comes out!

I don’t really care what the tabloids say, Williams will always be more successful. Katie Holmes will never get an oscar nominatio, unlike Williams who did and will get more.

Can you read, Ha!? Apparently not because you’ve totally missed the point. Nobody is saying that they should or should not keep in touch….Everyone is saying that Katie LIED when she said she still kept in touch with everyone from DC. Michelle confirms this when she says that KH and her don’t keep in touch.

You need to READ before being a know-it-all dumbass!

#53 Funny how Tom is the authority on everyone else’s problems but thinks that isolating his kids and exposing them to the cult is best for them. He and Katie are sickos. They are human waste……

Tom is the authority on mental illness. He should be able to help himself and his robot. These two freaks can’t even help themselves.

#55, that’s not true. I know someone who worked on DC and said that KH and JJ were they nicest people. MW mainly kept to herself, but JVB was an absolute a$$.

Catherina @ 02/13/2008 at 11:10 pm

How the heck is Katie a liar, did she have to keep in touch with every one of her DC castmates to say she still keeps in touch with them.
james and kerr went to her wedding party in LA, so obviously she still saw some of them recently.
Some of you will just jump on any opportunity to bash katie.

And leave Heath’s death out of it. Just because they werent close doesnt mean they hated each other. WTH shouldn’ she go to his memorial because of her past association with Michelle and because HL was respected by his peers.

If it was the other way around, would you guys be calling Michelle a liar if something happened to Tom and she showed up to pay her respects. Probably not because you can bet tons of hollywood people would be having memorials even moreso because of Tom’s impact in Hollywood.
********************************************************
AMEN Catherina, this post bears repeating. It is exactly what I was thinking, but you saved me the key strokes.

I don’t know why people keep saying this girl is beautiful. She is not beautiful, she is just a plain Jane. It’s the make-up that makes her look good on these photos.

I don’t understand why people on this board are trying to make a saint out of this girl, Michelle. And why are you guys pitting her against Katie. You people are so ignorant.

***************************
Why would you call Katie a liar, she does keep in touch with her former cast mates, they were at her wedding(the ones who could make it).

Maybe when she talked about keeping in touch with her former cast mates, she did not want to say. “I keep in touch with all my former cast mates EXCEPT Michelle”. Maybe she didn’t see it necessary to single Michelle out.
SO MAYBE YOU ARE THE DUMBASS, huh?!

go away trolls @ 02/14/2008 at 2:24 pm

Kerr Smith,James and Oliver Hudson went to the post wedding L.A.party of Katie and Tom. Sasha Alexander now with a baby and Katie keep in touch. Katie said on Letterman she keeps in touch with the DC cast but didnt specify which one.
Katie is class though.Of all the cast she is someone I wonna hang out with.

Regina,Michelle will get an Oscar and Katie never will?

we shall see……………

At least Katie is a good person Michelle isnt. I rather be a good person and happy than get an Oscar.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a private person does not mean you’re flawless!!!!!!!!

I dont think we are required to keep in touch with everyone we meet in this lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW THERE’S NO WAY I CAN!!!!!

I love to but there’s no way I can with my busy time.

Ofcourse its different for lowlives who are just online all the time.

I like Katie more than Michelle. Michelle seems jealous of Katie.

Another mean ice queen like Gwyneth Paltrow,Jessica Alba and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

The Catholics and Christians hate Heath and Michelle because of their gayness and immorality. Even Michelle’s Catholic High School disowned her because of Brokeback Mountain. I dont see Notre Dame disowning Katie despite she is Scientologist.

Michelle looks cute in those pics, I think she is a talented actress,…Personality wise I don’t know.
