Is Mary Beth Peil dead? Michelle Williams sparks concern after paying tribute to actress at Gotham Awards
CIPRIANI WALL STREET, NEW YORK: Michelle Williams paid an emotional tribute to her former 'Dawson's Creek' co-star Mary Beth Peil at the Gotham Awards in NYC on Monday, November 28, sparking concerns over whether the actress is dead. Peil, however, is reportedly alive and well. Fans were left baffled after Michelle, 42, who played Jen Lindley in the show from 1998-2003 alongside 82-year-old Peil as Evelyn 'Grams' Ryan, paid tribute to the actress.
Accepting the Film Tribute Award, Michelle said, "Whenever something good happens for me in my life, I can draw a straight line back to somebody who was meant to be here tonight but, being a New Yorker, means living in a reality that you are definitely not in control of — so she's not in the room, but she's in my heart."
