Michelle Williams first was drawn to my attention paying the crushingly tragic Elma in Ang Lee's 'Brokeback Mountain' which regardless of it's gay couple storyline, I'll forever protest it as simply a gay movie and if you've refrained from watching it for that reason you're missing out on what I swear is one of the most beautiful movies, cinematically, I've ever seen. Michelle has always somehow managed to remain out of the limelight despite being a certified A-List actress, confirmed after winning a 2012 Golden Globe for her performance in 'Take This Waltz' which I regrettably have yet to see. A film project of hers I am truly excited to see is 'Oz: The Great and Powerful', a pre-quel to the flawless 'The Wizard of Oz' Judy Garland great. I mean Michelle, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz in one movie? Yes please!! They are all playing witches and I mean - Rachel as a glamourous evil witch? I can't even wait. The next big movie to bring recognition to Michelle's obvious great talent will be 'My Week With Marilyn' for which she's been nominated for a million different awards shows. Pretty keen to see that one too but I do think the whole Marilyn Monroe fetishism has gone quite far enough - yes she was a glamorous woman and epitomized beauty and style but she really wasn't that perfect and had plenty of problems and I'd like to think there were more actresses worthy of her iconic state, Michelle being one of them in the future I hope. Though her remarkable resemblance to the already infamous Twiggy will probably forever hinder the possibility of Michelle's adorable, pixie-like look becoming iconic in her own right. The picture used above is the cover photo from her 2011 spread in 'Elle' magazine.
