Michelle Williams Reflects on 1993 Baywatch TV Debut at Age 12

Michelle Williams reflected on her television debut at age 12 on the iconic series Baywatch, where she played Bridget Bowers in the 1993 season 4 premiere "Race Against Time, Part I" and later appeared as "Hobie's Groupie." Although Williams is unsure if the two characters were the same, she recalled little about the experience other than the bikini hanging in her trailer and not fully processing the role at such a young age. Since those early appearances, Williams has built a distinguished career, earning five Academy Award nominations, Golden Globe Awards, and Emmy nominations, including for her recent Hulu series Dying for Sex. She also fondly remembered her time on the teen drama Dawson's Creek and will reunite with the cast for a live reading to support co-star James Van Der Beek. Other notable stars like Bryan Cranston, Mila Kunis, and Sofia Vergara also made early guest appearances on Baywatch, highlighting the show's role as a launching pad for many actors. Williams' candid reflections on her start offer a glimpse into the early days of a now highly acclaimed actress.
