My profile of “Pariah” star Adepero Oduye!
Yesterday, I shared with you a piece I wrote on Kim Wayans playing a religious and controlling mother who desperately does not want her daughter to be a lesbian in the film Pariah.
Today, I present to you a story on actress Adepero Oduye who plays the daughter and is so good that she earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best actress. She and Wayans both deserve Oscar nods but have so far been overlooked in most of the other major awards such as SAG and the Golden Globes.
Anyway, go over to Gay Star News to read my story on 33-year-old Oduye who was a pre-med student at Cornell University when she realized – to her mother’s horror – that she wanted to be an actress and she changed course.
Her mother is obviously happy about it now!
