"Girls" and "M3GAN" star Allison Williams openly acknowledged that being the daughter of a popular NBC news anchor, Brian Williams, has had a positive impact on her career.
"It's just unfair. Period, end of the story, and no one's really working that hard to make it fair," she told Vulture in a January 2023 interview. "All that people are looking for is an acknowledgment that it's not a level playing field," she said. "It's just unfair. Period, end of the story, and no one's really working that hard to make it fair. To not acknowledge that me getting started as an actress versus someone with zero connections isn't the same — it's ludicrous. It doesn't take anything away from the work that I've done. It just means that it's not as fun to root for me."
Williams continued the discourse during a Town & Country interview the same month, acknowledging that all of the main stars of her breakout show, "Girls" were well-connected in the industry. "[We weren't] random, like from towns where there's no one else that has ever broken through, she said. "For someone with no connections to our business to get to the place where I was able to start, skill aside — that's what people mean. And that's legitimate."
