Michelle Williams Premieres Wendy and Lucy

Michelle Williams (in Chanel) promotes her latest movie at the premiere of Wendy and Lucy during the 46th New York Film Festival at the Ziegfeld Theatre on Saturday in New York City.

The 28-year-old actress was accompanied by director Kelly Reichardt and costars Will Patton and Larry Fessenden.

According to IMDB, the movie is about a woman whose life is derailed en route to a potentially lucrative summer job. When her car breaks down, and her dog is taken to the pound, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she is led through a series of increasingly dire economic decisions.

10+ pictures inside of Michelle Williams at the Wendy & Lucy premiere…

Well nat glad you are judge and jury. Just how long should she have waited? It appears she waited way over a year. Should she have waited five years, ten years, do tell us all. He was fiercely talented, but had a drug problem. She had a small child. They parted. Should she now be linked to him forever since he died? Matilda should never know another potential father? The two of them should wear purdahs since the US doesn’t condone burning the “window” on a pyre?

She looks very understated classy. I love her red carpet fashion she (almost!) always looks great!… I say almost because I’m sure there were some dodgy fashion choices when she first started out on Dawsons!

# 9

jess. she looks beautiful, not old at all. And there is nothing wrong with her legs. Stop trying to be negative.

nat, who are you to say how long it takes for someone to “move” on. Also you’re wrong her movie is not a flop.

jess. shut up. Michelle looks gorgeous and her legs don’t look bad at all. You must be talking about your own appearance.

kinda ugly

b chick, Michelle is beautiful. Hilarious how you have the nerve to call someone ugly behind your computer monitor. Post a photo of yourself and everyone will see who is kinda ugly or really ugly.

b chick, shut up. Michelle looks gorgeous. You must be talking about how you look.

Nat how do you know that she has gotten over it? Do you expect her to never date again and stay in her house mourning all day? She has to go on with her life for her daughter Matilda. This movie isn’t a flop and has gotten great reviews. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Michelle looks absolutely stunning. Gorgeous!

she looks lovely. so cute!

What a monster. Watch out JJ if she sues her own fans she can sue Just Jared.

Paula, how is she the “monster”? It’s called wanting privacy. She never sued them either, she just wanted the site shut down. It’s in the past, get over it. You’re a monster to make such a nasty statement, especially after what Michelle has been through. Wanting a site with personal photos shut down makes you a monster? What an illogical load of rubbish.

Michelle looks beautiful. She is a natural beauty.

Michelle is beautiful, Paula is a monster.

I don’t like her styling here. Her face looks ragged and the dress seems just like an unartfully draped sheet. Michelle has looked better when she’s gone for more avant garde looks. Anyways, I still think she’s a lovely person.

I have this fantasy that she and Jake get together and raise Matilda, and tell her fun stories about her dad :(

Lulu,

I think she and Jake would make a good couple. But Jake seems to be spending all his spare time with Reese and her kids, I don’t think he visited Matilda very much since her dad passed. :(

Her face doesn’t look ragged at all. She looks stunning. Her dress is beautiful too.

beautiful eyes :)

Agree….she’s a beautiful angel!

in this picture she looks kinda like nicole kidman maybe its the hair or make up. but regardless michelle still beautiful.

Um.. she doesn’t look like Nicole Kidman, but Nicole Kidman is pretty too. Michelle looks beautiful, nothing “blah” at all.

You’re the one who is blah, Michelle looks great.

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/28/2008 at 11:30 pm

ugly.

just because her baby-daddy died doesnt mean you should lie about her looking “pretty”.

botox. She looks old a look alike of Mia Farrow.

It's infamous as usual @ 09/29/2008 at 1:07 am

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/28/2008 at 11:30 pm

You’re the resident JJ idiot. Why don’t you go back to the Holmes thread since you are a major TomKat suck up.

There were pictures and reports of her all over Spike Jonze last month, the new man in her life. She looks like the cat who ate all the cream after Heath’s family have renounced the money Heath had left them and now it will all be for Matilda, in other words Michelle Williams, considering that Matilda is only 2 years old. Michelle got so much out of that pregnancy, it was her fame lottery.

Got the following off other celebrity blog, “PopSugar” -

Heath’s parents & sisters have decided to hand over his ENTIRE estate to his daughter Matilda since he didn’t update his will to include her before he died.

Let me add this to those defending Michelle’s right to date so soon after his death…

She’s NOT his widow, nor was she his slave; stopped seeing him, what, about a year before he died? He wasn’t sitting at home alone but was seeing other women… Tell me, if the situation had been reversed & Heath was raising their daughter & dating, would you naysayers be so self-righteous & say: “HE moving on TOO SOON,” or wish him well?

They broke up some time BEFORE his death (we don’t know why - except what he said in taped interviews: “I was hard to live with.”; “I have dark moods.”; etc.) Great admitting it… but should she have stayed & enabled his mood swings with a small child around? I wouldn’t.

Lastly, he didn’t even UPDATE his will to INCLUDE his DAUGHTER, for Pete’s Sake! Believe me, I’m not judging here - It’s one thing tempting fate when it’s JUST YOU to think about. Some people believe that making a will or buying life insurance are signing one’s death warrant. Others do it quite easily. But when a child or children are involved… It’s another matter indeed.

Those of you who are nasty here & in other thread don’t live with those you insult here or in any other thread… I must add: Thank God they don’t know ANY of you, & never will!

to infamous @ 09/29/2008 at 9:20 am

too bad katie holmes will never be as talented as michelle. all she has is crazy husband and weird cult.

michelle- i think u are beautiful and smart…hope u get your life together and start making movies again. because you are really good at it.

I have nothing against her, but i think she is
getting all this sympathy just because her baby’s daddy is death

whatever…

Michelle doesn’t want anyone’s sympathy nor has she ever, ever been interested in fame. She is an exceptionally talented actress who was quite secure financially all on her own and plans to provide for her daughter. She got a nice deal out of the syndication rights to her television series and her family was already extremely well off. She had no plans to ever contest Heath’s will if the money wasn’t going to Matilda–that was even stated in official news releases, which I know no one here bothers to read.

Michelle is a very private person and a complete class act who is giving her daughter a wonderful normal life under the circumstances. Acting is her career which she loves simply for the craft, as evidenced by the roles she takes in these very small and quirky independent films like Wendy and Lucy. Not many actresses would have followed up an Oscar nomination with a very small film by a mostly unknown young filmmaker shot on location in a remote Portland town. But Michelle has never been looking for fame and fortune—she doesn’t want the fame and she doesn’t need the fortune. Those making that assumption simply based upon her relationship with Heath are so far off the mark it’s not even funny. Those allegations have zero basis in actual fact.

For those bringing up the issue related to the former website, you also have it completely 100% wrong. Go get the correct story from the owners of that website—who decided on their own to close it. Because right now you’re just making complete fools of yourselves by repeating a mean-spirited, stupid rumor that has already been put to rest by the owners of that site several times. I repeat–it was their decision. Michelle Williams had zero to do with it. Go do your research.

And to the people who come here and throw these insults at Michelle while they go over and drool in the Katie Holmes thread—oh boy oh boy do you have it wrong!! LMAO!!! I know both, and I worked on set with both for several years. There is no comparison. Michelle outshines Katie in every way–as a human and as an artist.

She is beautiful and I can’t wait to see Wendy and Lucy.

What is wrong with you people? You’re way too judgmental. Botox? Are you kidding me?! Horrible legs? Again, are you kidding me?! You’d probably kill to her have her figure. She’s not too slim, yet she’s not overweight. Her weight is perfect for her height?

And last but not least, she moved on too fast from Heath Ledger? Yeah, well it hasn’t only been over a year since she has been with him. *roll* Move on.

Michelle doesn’t want your sympathy. And I agree, she has and always will be more talented than dullard Katie Holmes.

After all, who is the one with the oscar nomination (Michelle) and who is the one with the RAZZIE nomination (Katie!).

She’s a brave and gorgeous young woman, but I feel for her. Her eyes don’t smile here. I hope she gets enough support and doesn’t have to be brave all the time.
Being a single mother isn’t easy while coping with the dead of the father of your child. EVEN when they were already separated..

I think Michelle looks lovely. She is a very classy lady who is doing the best she can to raise Matilda alone. It’s hard to be a single mother, and she is fortunate she has help (her mom has been around and she has a nanny who helps her) She loved Heath and we’ll never know the whole story behind their break up and I really don’t need to know. You can see in photos of them together how much they loved each other.

As far as that will, Heath had put all his money into trusts and the media was not privy to their outline He took care of his daughter even after death so I don’t believe what the tabloids are saying

And as far as Michelle moving in. She and Heath had broken up months before his death. She was broken up about him passing and she has taken several months to come to terms with it. I would not begrudge her getting on with her life and I wish her all the happiness. I know she is surrounding matilda with love and a good environment

Sunset Lee @ 09/29/2008 at 3:52 pm

Don’t get me started. #29 and #31 let alone the rest.
I admire this women for being Jen and now she’s in a film with Ewan McGregor it kinda gets to me. I liked the fact she had Heath but shed already made it on her own. That’s why she can do it. Or whatever it is shes doing. And that may have been what have given her the courage oh oh yeah right ‘made her’ and **** get with him ******* love him. So shes a winner and all that so **** give it a break with the baby daddy bullshit. She lived with him had the kid for fuks sake. But like Deception is some sex club movie. I prefer Winona Ryder in Alien Resurrection at the moment.

she is so old and so happy that Heath’s familly give all the money to her daughter.

I n F a m o u s, she does look pretty. Far more pretty than you probably. You’re the ugly one hiding your ugly face behind a computer monitor.

Tiffany, stop jumping to conclusions. She looks gorgeous and not old at all.

Tara, the money will be saved for Matilda until she is of age. Stop spreading nasty lies about Michelle.

Alondra, she doesn’t want nor need anyone’s sympathy.

Lea, she is not old at all.

Michelle is beautiful, but her eyes look so sad here.

Kinomarylin @ 09/30/2008 at 9:48 am

Michelle what happened?
You look much older than your age ?!

She doesn’t look much older than her age. What do you mean what happened? She’s been in mourning over the loss of her daughter’s father. What a stupid question.

kinda not good pics of her….she looked absolutely beautiful in the interview…

Heath fan @ 10/07/2008 at 2:44 pm

Bottom line- she’s a mediocre actress with a lisp. “Wendy and Lucy”? Borrrr-ring. She spent time away from Heath to make this flop?

Actually don’t you think she looks more like Ellen Burstyn than Mia Farrow?

Mary-kate @ 10/07/2008 at 2:47 pm

Her dress reminds me of Animal House–TOGA ! TOGA! TOGA!

The movie wasn’t a flop it got good reviews and she doesn’t even have a lisp. She doesn’t look like Ellen or Mia. She looks like herself.

movie lover @ 10/08/2008 at 8:12 am

Yes she does have a lisp, Heather. Just watch her in Brokeback. “…Don’t try and fool me no more Ennith, I know what it meanth. ” and “Ennith, it makesth me nervouth not to take no precauthions”. Just watch and you’ll see.

And yes I agree that Wendy and Lucy is a flop. Sounds like a stupid movie. The one she did before that was a flop too -”Deception”. Despite the star power of Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor..

Calling her a “mediocre actress” is generous. She’s a BAD actress. I don’t think she has a lisp, I think she just doesn’t deliver her lines very well. I’ve seen Deception also and it’s not just awful, it’s horrendous. She is so bland and has zero chemistry with her co-stars. Poor Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor (who are both brilliant actors) tried to save the movie but couldn’t, I mean it’s THAT bad , people.

Everyone just needs to stop feeling sorry for her just because Heath died. Listen, she got LUCKY when she got the part of Alma. She got LUCKY when she lured Heath to her bed. She popped out the kid as fast as she could because she KNEW he had a history of making it with his female co-stars, she was at least the 3rd or 4th one herself. His next leading lady was Sienna Miller (Casanova) and then Abbie Cornish (Candy), both beautiful and way better actresses.

You all wanna feel sorry for her because “oh she lost her baby-daddy, she’s grieving…” Well she left HIM , didn’t she? Because he wouldn’t marry her, for one thing. She gave interviews where she was already calling Heath her ‘husband’. While he gave interviews saying he didn’t need a piece of paper to prove anything. Helllloooo? It’s not rocket science.

As far as her grieving , do you call sitting on Spike Lee’s lap and kissing him with food in her mouth as grieving ? Heath is the one you all should be feeling sorry for, not her.

sorry, I meant to say Spike Jonze, not Spike Lee.

movie lover who cares if she does have a lisp? Many people do. It isn’t a flop, it has gotten rave reviews. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s a flop.

move lover, who cares if her last movie was a flop? Not every movie can be a blockbuster.

martin your comment is pathetic. Everything you’re typing about her is not the truth because you don’t even know her. Whether she’s a bad actress or not is your opinion not a fact.

No, she got the part because the director wanted her for it. No luck involved. The director himself even said so. People can feel sorry for whom they want and you have no right to tell them otherwise. Lured him to bed? You obviously know nothing about Heath. He talked about her in interviews and how he fell in love with her on set. Whether you think Abbie and Sienna Miller are better actresses is your opinion. Personally I don’t think Sienna is better than her. Popped her kid as fast as she could? No, they were in love and had a child. How do you know what she knows? You don’t know this woman. Stop typing about these people like you know them.

You don’t know why she left him. They wanted to get married, but obviously the relationship didn’t work out. No rocket science needed.

Sitting on his lap? And where did you see this? No, she had been broken up with Heath for a while. What, is she not allowed to ever date again? She has to move on for her life. Obviously people feel sorry for Heath above everyone but they also feel sorry for her for a good reason.

Mary-Kate can you choose a more inappropriate user name to use? You are disgusting.

It sounds stupid to you, it doesn’t mean it is, movielover.

And why are you saying because only Heath died, Martin? A person dying is enough of a reason to feel sorry for someone.

Mary-kate @ 10/14/2008 at 8:05 pm

Heather, this IS my real name. Actually it’s Mary Katherine, but everyone calls me Mary-Kate. I know , I know, but there is more than one person in the world named Mary-Kate and I happen to like my name.

And who cares what other peoples opinions are? Why don’t YOU stop typing about people that YOU don’t know.

Everyone has different opinions and can write what they want. Stop criticizing people simply because they say something you don’t like. That’s acting childish.

Okay then, my mistake. I thought you were trying to use the name as a joke. I am aware more than one person have Mary-Kate as a name.

I’m not typing about people I don’t know. I only typed the facts that came from the people them self and not a bunch of lies like everyone else. Those comments weren’t even directed at YOU, so why do you care? I’m not criticizing people for their opinion. They were typing LIES, which should be criticized. Has nothing to do with not liking what they are saying.

As for acting childish, no the trolls spreading lies are the ones acting childish.

Pot. Kettle. Black. You’re saying people can type their opinions, well I’m typing my opinion about their comment. Stop being a hypocrite. I can type whatever I want just like anyone else. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. I have a different opinion and I’m typing what I want. Stop criticizing me for what I type. That’s acting childish.

Okay “Heather”, I’m not going to argue with you because you do bring up a couple of good points. I’ll re-phrase - she got LUCKY when Ang Lee wanted her for the part of Alma. Does that make you happy? But he’s the director, what’s he GONNA say? And actually, it makes you wonder how many other actresses turned down the role before it even got offered to her. We know -for a fact- that nearly half of Hollywood turned down the roles of Jack and Ennis, including Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg, because they were afraid it would hurt their careers.

And you’re probably right about her luring him to her bed, now that I think about it. Actually it wouldn’t have taken much to lure him , would it? We know-for a fact- that he had just broken up with Naomi one month before. We know-for a fact- that Heath was never without a woman. So , let’s see….what’s a guy to do when he’s filming a movie about being gay out in the cold lonely wilderness of Canada? I don’t know, tough call. And yes you’re right they did fall in love on set, but that was my point. He ‘fell in love’ on nearly every set he worked on. Personally, I think he threw around the word ‘love’ a little too flippantly.
So yes at one point (after the child came) it looked like they might get hitched, but they didn’t. So there.

I noticed you wrote that you only type facts from the people themselves, so who are you really? Her mom? Busy Phillips? Or maybe you’re one of those ‘close sources’ we read about in the tabloids. Maybe you do really know her since you keep trying to turn everything around to HER benefit.

Celebrities and their cronies are always trying to deny the obvious…”No I didn’t get a boob job, I had a deviated septum.” “So and so isn’t anorexic , she just has a stomach virus”. Yadda yadda yadda.

No, I don’t know them. I’ve seen interviews with them. I’m going to believe the words out of the people themselves mouths over gossip sites. You’re the one acting like you know her with these accusations. I’m not typing to benefit her, I don’t even know her. I’m typing the truth from the people themselves. It’s pointless to type negative things about complete strangers, anyways.

So, let me get this straight Heather, it’s okay to type POSITIVE things about people we don’t know, but not NEGATIVE things? If that’s what you’re saying, it doesn’t sound very fair does it?

And who gave Wendy&Lucy ‘good reviews’? The critics who were INVITED to the screening? Yeah okay, what are they GONNA say?

But I have to say I seen the trailer for her new movie- Incindiary- and it looks really good. She does a great british accent. Check it out.

I never said it meant you’re allowed to make positive comments. All of comments were facts from the people themselves. It’s only certain people on here that want to start negative rumors about her.

No, not the critics there. I have read many good reviews about the movie. I wasn’t the only one that brought up the good reviews on here.

Hmm… That first part came out wrong. I meant to say that I never said you could only type negative or just positive comments, just truthful ones. All of the comments I typed were from the people themselves not negative gossip. It’s sad that people only want to believe negative things about people.
