Anderson Cooper | Son of Gloria Vanderbilt

Audiences will remember Allison Williams best for her role in the 2017 Jordan Peele horror flick, Get Out. She is also one of the stars of the HBO series Girls, created by Lena Dunham. There’s no arguing with the fact that Williams has achieved quite a degree of success within just a short period in the industry. Of course, that is thanks to her excellent comedic timing. Despite her popularity, however, not many know that she comes from quite the prestigious TV legacy.

The actress is famed NBC News anchor Brian Williams and his wife, TV producer Jane Gillan Stoddard. Now, while she may have come from a wealthy background, Williams still had to do the work when it comes to securing roles. Fortunately, she has managed to land more significant ones in big productions from only getting small parts!
