Allison Williams on Botox, Privilege, and Gen Zās Love of Marnie From āGirlsā
On June 11th, actress Allison Williams joined Anna live onstage at the Tribeca Festival in New York City for a conversation that was equal parts introspective and hilarious. Allison talked about everything from botox and how it impacts her work (and the faces sheās able to make to her young son) to her very complicated and controversial film and TV characters, like the famously maligned Marnie from Girls.
Allison and Anna also welcomed two members of Gen Z into the conversation, Amelia Ritthaler and Evan Lazarus of the Girls Rewatch podcast, to discuss why Gen Z is way more sympathetic to Marnie than millennials were.Ā Ā Ā
