Michelle Johnson (actress)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michelle Johnson (born September 8, 1965 in Anchorage, Alaska) is an American actress.
Johnson attended high school in Phoenix, Arizona, and after graduating at the age of 17 she was preparing to move to New York to pursue a modeling career. Director Stanley Donen saw her photo in a magazine and signed her to appear as Michael Caine's love interest in the romantic comedy film Blame It on Rio. Controversially, she performed several nude and full-frontal scenes though she was seventeen at the time of filming; her parents (a pediatrician and nurse) successfully petitioned a judge for permission to do so on the grounds it would be good for her career. Although the film was a commercial success, Michelle was nominated for a Golden Raspberry ("Razzie") Award as Worst New Star of 1984.
Since then she has enjoyed a modest career as a supporting actress in television (including a recurring role on The Love Boat), movies, including roles in Far And Away, Gung Ho, Death Becomes Her, The Glimmer Man, and Mickey.
From 1999 to 2002 she was married to Major League Baseball player Matt Williams, and she was sometimes credited as "Michelle Williams" during that period.
