Happy Black History Month
Regina King! I don’t know where to begin. She is #blackgirlmagic PERSONIFIED for me! She has acted in films, had starring roles, supporting roles, directed episodes of tv shows (like Scandal and This Is Us – specific episodes), and had her film directorial debut with the film ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI – 2020 and she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Director. She was the second black woman to be nominated for this.
I remember Regina King as a child actress on the show 227! It was amazing being able to see someone who looks like me on tv. She was great in role as Brenda Jenkins and from there her career has reached bigger and better heights.
She is amazing. I was left in awe when I realized she was the voice of both characters Riley and Huey Freeman on the show The Boondocks.
It is hard for me to choose one film or one show where she stands out to me the most. She is excellent at what she does. I look forward to watching something if she is going to be in it and I would love to meet her in person and have afternoon tea with her one day. She seems very down to earth and someone who has wisdom and stories to share with you!
I hate to say out of the 17 movies on this list I have not seen them all! I am only 2 short and I wonder if one of my friends can guess which 2. I will also make it a point to watch them this weekend. Check out the list below according to Oprah Magazine – 17 of Regina King’s best movies! This article was posted on February 4 of this year.
