See How Much the Cast of Dawson's Creek Has Changed Over the Last 20 Years

In 1998, 17-year-old Michelle Williams signed on to play Jen Lindley in Dawson's Creek, and her career hasn't slowed down since. After leaving Capeside, Williams racked up Oscar-nominated roles in Blue Valentine, Manchester by the Sea, and Brokeback Mountain (the latter of which is where she met Heath Ledger, her ex-partner and the father of her daughter, Matilda). She's also earning plenty of award season buzz for her much-discussed role in Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World.
