Michelle Williams Reflects on Her 'I Made It' Moment & Which Role Made Her Cry the Most

On essentially playing Steven Spielberg’s mother in The Fabelmans: “He didn’t really say that outright [at the beginning]. So I asked him, ‘For clarity’s sake, if I’m understanding correctly, you are asking me to play your beloved mother?’ And he said, ‘Oh yeah.’ One of the things that I loved most was that they gave me a track of Steven’s mother laughing through the years. When she laughed, she collapsed into people. Before every take, I would go back to her laugh track. And then I’d have this euphoria running through my body.”
