Allison Williams is chiming in on the New York Magazine-inspired nepotism discourse with a decidedly different take from her fellow stars with famous parents.
The magazine’s deep dive into the invisible network of family ties that makes up the media industry and how Hollywood’s tried-and-true practice of giving the children of famous celebrities a boost up the ladder, caused waves of discussion that rubbed some famous faces the wrong way.
Williams, who is the daughter of former “NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams and TV producer Jane Gillan Stoddard, addressed the double-edged sword that is nepotism and privilege in conversation with Wired.
“I didn’t want anyone to see me growing, learning, changing, shifting,” the actress says, reflecting on her role as Marnie Michaels on the HBO series “Girls”. “I was definitely concerned with making sure people understood I was a hard worker, as if somehow that would absolve me of the privilege.
