When Williams was a teenager she began getting small TV roles, and when she was 15 she appeared in the feature film Species (1995).

Michelle Williams was born in a small Montana town, but her family moved to California when she was three years old, settling in Solana Beach, just north of San Diego. Her mother took her to a play when she was in third grade, and the child was enraptured. "That's what I want to do with the rest of my life", she told her mother. She attended a private, Christian school and took her first acting lessons at the nearby Christian Youth Theater, appearing on stage in Annie and The Sound of Music. By seventh grade, she had an agent, and appeared in an episode of Baywatch.
