“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. Mary Beth Peil played my grams on Dawson's Creek. I was an emancipated minor when we met, I was 16 years old and I was totally alone. Mary Beth Peil was the first artist that I had ever met in my life. She didn't call herself that, but there was something different about her; it was the way that she asked questions, the way that she leaned into conversations and how excited she seemed for every moment of every day on our TV set. And I didn't know what this ineffable quality was, but I knew I wanted to pull my chair closer to hers. We started talking constantly; I learned that she was an opera singer, she was a Tony nominee, she was a mother, she crossed over from TV to film to theater like she was changing trains at rush hour, she could do anything. She lived an artist’s life, she was brimming and bursting with energy and she showed me that creativity was more than a mere profession and all of this vitality was miraculously turned in my direction, her smiling face was looking at me, and she called me her girl. She told me stories about this place, New York fucking City, and she said it was somewhere that I could go and I could build a life. She said that I should try doing theater. I started reading plays and talking to her about them and she urged me on, ‘Yes, yes! That's wonderful, my girl. You should do that. you should try that!’ I wasn't an artist, or a mother, I wasn't even a high school graduate. Honestly, I was barely even a Michelle, I had just gotten people to stop calling me Shelly. But now I was Mary Beth's girl, and that made me a somebody. So I'm grateful for this honor because it allows me to look backwards in time and realize that I couldn't have played Wendy Carroll, or Randi Chandler, or Marilyn, or Gwen, or Mitzi Fabelman without having first played Jen Lindley. I wouldn't have known how to handle being Steven Spielberg's mother without having been Mary Beth's granddaughter. So thank you Mary Beth and thank you Gotham Awards for this.”
