Michelle Williams had an extra special supporter while promoting Hulu’s Dying for Sex over the weekend: her Dawson’s Creek co-star Mary-Margaret Humes. “Our first hug in over 22 years. Embracing the joy of life with Michelle Williams,” Humes, 71, wrote on Instagram alongside photos of the pair embracing and posing together. Dawson’s Creek was a star-making role for Williams, 44, who appeared as rebellious New Yorker Jen Lindley from 1998 to 2003. She pivoted to prestige film roles soon after the series wrapped, and has since been nominated for six Oscars and won one Emmy. Humes co-starred in the beloved teen series as Gail Leery, the mother of James Van Der Beek’s titular character. While this appears to be her first reunion with Humes in two decades, Williams said last month that she was grateful Dawson’s Creek introduced her to “a few people... that are still in my life, that I love very much, that are so much a part of me.” Humes also remains close with several of her former castmates, including Van Der Beek, who shared in 2023 that his “TV momma” bakes him cookies for his birthday every year.
