Happy Birthday: Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams

Born: September 9, 1980 in Kalispell, Montana, USA

[on Heath Ledger’s death in 2008] In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone. It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear from behind a bush. It was a year of very magical thinking and, in some ways, I’m sad to be moving further and further away from it.
