Why Allison Williams Thinks ‘girls’ Deserves More Respect

... Thinks ‘Girls’ Deserves More Respect. By Benjamin Lindsay | Posted Feb. 22, 2017, 11 a.m. Photo Source: Kareem Black. Allison Williams wants to set the record straight on “Girls.”. You see, when Lena Dunham’s indelible HBO comedy premiered in 2012 with Dunham as Hannah Horvath, Williams as Marnie Michaels, Jemima Kirke as Jessa Johansson, and Zosia Mamet as Shoshanna Shapiro, it seemed to Williams that one of the many hot-button dialogues surrounding the series—and one that widely continues today in its sixth and final season—vilified its then-unknown quartet of actors. In an unexpected reading of the divisive series, audiences were having trouble separating the professionally stunted, self-centered, Brooklyn-dwelling millennial friends shown onscreen and the actors behind them. The grating characteristics that defined Marnie and Co. came to define the women in real life. “I think there’s a slight misogyny to it,” Williams says, ...

Allison Williams Hated Being Known Only As Brian Williams' Daughter

Williams, 28, recalled one time when a magazine wrote about her family connection but failed to mention her full name. She kept mum on what publication it was.

You could use me on your cover, but you’re not going to give me a name? I mean, it wasn’t the most upset I've ever been. But it was when my feelings about that peaked the most. And now people almost never bring it up," Williams told the L. A. Times. "It took years, and a lot of diligence on my part. But I’ve formed my own thing, and now I get people who are surprised to find out he’s my dad. I dreamed that would happen, and it has: I’m no longer introduced to people as Brian Williams' ...

I Don't Really Identify With Twenty-somethings

... up to play Marnie, one of four characters in the gritty comedy-drama often referred to as “the new Sex and the City”. With its unvarnished portrayal of the turbulent sex and working lives of a somewhat narcissistic generation, Girls quickly became a cultural phenomenon; winning critical acclaim, a Golden Globe for best comedy and propelling its young stars to international fame. Today, the cast is nearing their thirties, a point at which Dunham felt is was appropriate to lay her characters to rest. The final series sees Marnie entering a new phase of her life, after separating from her husband. The storyline is particularly poignant for Williams, who wed website founder Ricky Van Veen, 36, in September 2015 - the same year that her character tied the knot. “I got married as Marnie first and she was the most disastrous bride of all time. I’m delighted to report that by contrast I was very chilled and happy and did it the right way,” she says. Suddenly I was very thin, and everyone was like 'oh my god, you’re starving yourself’. That one of the ...

How Allison Williams Mined The Horrors Of White Privilege For 'get Out

... the country, immersing herself in the culture,  “but I didn’t get my hair braided or anything,” she says. “A lot of girls did that. They call white people ‘obruni’ there. And while we were shooting the movie, I kept thinking about ‘obruni,’ because I felt like ‘white girl’ in the film in a lot of ways.”. In addition to the race discussions, Williams’ preparation for “Get Out” also included her hiring an acting coach. She wanted to make sure she had fully memorized the script and also wanted help developing a back story for Rose. “Her style of acting is really about understanding the character through and through,” explains Peele. “We could literally talk for hours about who the character is. She’s precise. A perfectionist.”. Although Williams doesn’t shy away from that label, she’s also wary of it. She often makes self-effacing comments about how irritating she must seem,  like when she talks about how many crying selfies she and Dunham posted as “Girls” wrapped: “It was a little indulgent.” Even when it comes to her singing, which she’s done on-screen in “Peter Pan” and “Girls”: “I feel that too much singing annoys people.” Though she’d like to do a Broadway show one ...

Allison Williams Debuts Totally New Look On Cover Of Allure

... it. All the way. Allison Williams with platinum blonde hair, courtesy of colorist Aura Friedman, is a literal vision—one that we needed to find out more about. (Psst: If you're not in the know with NYC colorists—no judgment, it's definitely a niche space— Aura Friedman is the guru of colorists when it comes to all things blonde. Friedman also happens excellent with pretty colors like pink and purple —and has a celebrity- (and regular-person) cult-following for her coloring skills.). With Friedman's skills (seriously, her Instagram is all the proof ) and a bold AF attitude, the lifelong brunette didn't balk at the idea of going blonde. In order for Williams to settle on a shade, Friedman eased her into the stark change by reviewing a slew of tones to find one that would suit the actress. "We were thinking about vintage movie stars, like Brigitte Bardot ," Friedman told Allure. See photos of Allison Williams through the years. 10 PHOTOS. See Gallery. Allison Williams.

Allison Williams Pulls An Evan Rachel Wood With Her Bold New Red Carpet Look

... looked extremely similar to the Westwood star, who has  vowed to wear a suit to every major awards show  this season so that young girls who feel pressured to wear dresses can see they aren’t always a requirement. Williams even pinned her new blond hair  back in a short-illusion ‘do, similar to the pixie cut Wood, 29, has been rocking since 2011. Of course, the Peter Pan Live! star gave Wood’s signature style her own glam twist — choosing a pantsuit covered in black and silver sequins. She also ditched some of Wood’s extravagant undershirts, wearing nothing underneath her coat.

She debuted her bright new locks  on the cover of Allure , telling the magazine that she looks forward to surprising her friends with her unrecognizable look. “I like it,” she said of the hue, which was created by colorist Aura Friedman. “Especially this ...

In Get Out, Allison Williams Makes ‘good White People’ Terrifying

... Well, would it? Because we never say where this happens. ‘Oh, this wouldn’t happen with the people I grow up with.’ Wouldn’t it? Because I don’t think these people were who you expected them to be. They weren’t wearing white hoods. It takes all of your excuses away, so hopefully people are just forced to deal, and sit in the discomfort with it.”. Most people are not evil racists who hunt black people for sport. But many well-meaning white people, especially physically nonthreatening white women, are the best-case version of her. They’re the “good guy” who doesn’t see the danger in a perilous environment, and inadvertently becomes a road block to true progress. As Roxane Gay puts it , “the problem with allyship is that good intentions are not enough. Allyship offers a safe haven from harsh realities and the dirty ...
