Brian Williams' daughter Allison Williams lands TV role, Allison Williams has had opportunities, but her part on the new series "Girls" is by far her biggest. Famous Family: Brian Williams, father. Breaking Out on TV: After a few small parts on "American Dreams" and "The League," 23-year-old Yale grad Allison just landed her first regular TV role as Marnie on HBO's buzzy new comedy, "Girls."
