Michelle Williams said it was "cool" to be at Cannes.
In her first public interview since the death of her former fiance Heath Ledger in January, the former Dawson's Creek actress, 27, arrived in the south of France Thursday in time to take to the red carpet premiere of her film Wendy and Lucy.
"She was very, very excited � it�s her first trip to Cannes," the film's director, Kelly Reichardt, explained, adding that they celebrated Williams' festival debut with some "celebratory cocktails."
On Friday, Williams began promoting Synecdoche, New York, a Charlie Kaufman film costarring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Catherine Keener.
"It actually does feel kind of special to have two films at the same time," Williams said. "The film [Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, which she's currently filming in Boston] was sweet enough to let me come here and enjoy it."
"[It's] something you can look back on at the end of your life and think, 'That was a cool thing I did when I was twenty seven'."
