While at Yale, Williams was a member of the improv comedy troupe Just Add Water for four years, as well as being a part of the YouTube series College Musical, and was inducted by St. Elmo.
In 2010, Williams performed a mashup of "Nature Boy" set to RJD2's "A Beautiful Mine", the theme song for the television series Mad Men. The YouTube video of the performance received widespread praise on the Internet, and convinced Judd Apatow that she should be given a part in the HBO series Girls. She was cast shortly after and credited her experience at Just Add Water for passing the audition.Girls premiered on April 15, 2012.
Jemima Kirke (born 26 April 1985) is a British-born American artist and actress best known for her role as Jessa Johansson on the television series Girls. She made her feature-length debut in the independent film Tiny Furniture, as a favor for friend Lena Dunham, although her actual film debut was in the indie short film Smile for the Camera.
Born in London to English parents, Kirke was raised in New York City. She is the daughter of Simon Kirke, the former drummer of the rock bands Bad Company and Free. Her mother is Lorraine (née Dellal) Kirke, the owner of Geminola, a vintage boutique in New York City that supplied a number of outfits for the television series Sex and the City. Her character Jessa wore a wedding dress from Geminola in the season finale of the first season of Girls; also, earlier in her career, she was featured along with her sisters in a fashion piece in Teen Vogue in which they wore clothing from the store.
Her father is of English and Scottish descent and her mother is Jewish. Her maternal grandfather, Jack Dellal, was a British businessman of Iraqi Jewish descent, and Kirke's maternal grandmother was Israeli. Kirke has two sisters, Lola Kirke and Domino Kirke, the first of whom is also an actress. She is a cousin of curator Alexander Dellal and model Alice Dellal.
Zosia Russell Mamet (/ˈzɑːʃəˈmæmᵻt/) (born February 2, 1988) is an American actress and musician, who has appeared in television series including Mad Men, United States of Tara and Parenthood and as Shoshanna Shapiro on the HBO original series Girls.
Mamet was born in Randolph, Vermont. She is the daughter of American playwright, essayist, screenwriter, and film director David Mamet and actress Lindsay Crouse. Her maternal grandfather was playwright Russel Crouse and one of her maternal great-grandfathers was educator John Erskine. She has a sister, Willa, who is a photographer, and two half-siblings, Clara, who is also an actress, and Noah. She identifies as Jewish (her father is Jewish and her mother is Buddhist). She lived in New England until age five when her mother moved to Pacific Palisades, California with her and Willa. After finishing high school, Mamet decided to pursue acting instead of going to college.
Mamet has a band called Chacha.
In May 2013, Mamet and her sister Clara, dubbing themselves The Cabin Sisters, listed a project on the crowdfunding site, Kickstarter, requesting $32,000 for a video of their song "Bleak Love". The Mamets were heavily criticised for this with articles highlighting the expense of the project, the gifts offered in return for money pledged (45 minute Skype call for $2,000 and a download of their album for $25) and the idea that the money would allow the sisters to spend more time together. After two of the eleven days allowed for money to be raised had passed, the project only reached 6% funding. After the 11 allocated days, less than $3,000 was raised.

Genres: Music,It isn't right to sit around and think about the awful things that get you down
You've gotta try to wear a smile no matter how hard it can be to do
I could make myself go crazy crying over times I've chased my broken dreams
But what is life without a dream and even I know dreams can still come true
Oh, Lauren Marie
I might never get my arms around you but that doesn't mean that I won't try
Oh, Lauren Marie
You might never want me but that doesn't mean that you won't get me high
Oh, Lauren Marie
Oh, Lauren Marie
Oh, Lauren Marie
Oh, Lauren Marie
Oh, Lauren Marie
Oh, Lauren Marie
Oh, Lauren Marie
Oh, Lauren Marie
I don't know where I'm going but I'm headed somewhere
And it's not my time to die
Take a look up, Lauren
The clouds make way for the sunshine
No, I'm never gonna fix up and I might be crazy
But I really got it going on
Listen to me now
