If you find the character of Marnie Michaels on the HBO show 'The Girls' to be a little grating and hard to love, you're not alone in that opinion. Allison Williams, who plays the role, finds her difficult to get along with, too. Admittedly, the character is designed to be irritating and obnoxious, but she's so far removed from Williams' real-life persona that she's sometimes found it difficult to reconcile with the part.
Williams has gone on record in the past to say that if she met Marnie in real life, she'd struggle to get along with her - and she'd probably go out of her way to avoid her! Williams is something of a method actor, and tries to completely put herself in the shoes of any character she's playing. In the case of Marnie, she says that sometimes makes her feel a little schizophrenic.
