Michelle Williams is a national treasure.
Through it all, Williams has remained remarkably grounded and, whisper it,normal.
Interviewers consistently comment on how quiet and unassuming the actress is in person.
She’s yet to suffer a major scandal, in spite of starting her career as a teenager.

She’s hinted about darker experiences from that time (asan interviewerfromThe Telegraphnoted) but will not elaborate further.
