Michelle was dating Michael Showalter when she began shooting Brokeback Mountain. For Heath, she was just a rebound (from Naomi Watts) and in an interview Ang Lee gave whilst promoting the film, even he said that he thought Heath getting involved with Michelle was ‘his way of getting over Naomi’.
Michelle’s best role EVER was the one she did tricking Heath Ledger to believe during the shoot of BBM that she was a goody two shoes, very sympathetic etc. She manipulated him to think she was ‘easy going’, hence he dated her, hence his shock when a few months later she came out with the ‘I’m pregnant’ line, just when they were shortly due to promote BBM. Heath did the right thing by her and gave it his best, but he just wasn’t truly inlove with her, he was more inlove with the idea of the baby. His friends even said that they were more off than on after the baby was born. In anycase, it was disgusting how she played the ‘widow’ card when she knew fully well that she was nothing of the sort, indeed after a few months the baby was born, Heath hit an all time low and was incredibly depressed and only got out of his depression when he found the strength to leave the most manipulating phony girl he had ever dated. He found the strength to leave her for good, even though she was using Matilda as a pawn to prevent him from doing so, and found love again with fellow Perth model Gemma Ward.
As for Michelle’s Marilyn role, well what a mistake. No doubt rest of the cast will shine but Michelle as Marilyn Monroe, no way. Not only does she look nothing like Marilyn but she hasn’t got the acting chops to do that role. Have a look at the trailer for Take This Waltz – she always has the same face expression, always.
Naomi Watt’s Marilyn will be much better, and the film will be much more interesting too. I think it starts shooting next year.
@Nadia:
Thank you for your comments. I appreciate someone like you.
Michelle Williams should be dumped by Hollywood once and for all.
She never earned this Marilyn Monroe role and she never told
Ang Lee that she was from Dawson’s Creek. That’s how she was able
to manipulate her way into getting the role for Brokeback Mountain.
This should have been Rachel McAdams. She’s one of the best modern day actresses with sex appeal like Marilyn and she actually has a STRONG resemblance to Marilyn. While Michelle Williams is talented, she looks nothing like her
