On the Record: Actress-Activist Kerry Washington
 |
You may know her as Olivia Pope, Washington fixer, crisis management expert, and girlfriend to U. S. President Fitzgerald Grant, the most powerful man in the world. She's the lead actress in Shonda Rhimes' 2012 popular drama Scandal.
Maybe you recognize her from her most recent role as Broomhilda von Shaft, Django's wife in Quentin Tarintino's film Django Unchained. Her performances as Ray Charles' wife Dela Bea Robinson in the award winning film Ray and Idi Amin's wife in The Last King of Scotland showcased her talents also. She also appeared in Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls in 2010. But after her recent recognition at the NAACP Image Awards, people stand up and cheer for Kerry Washington not only as an accomplished actress, but also a political activist.
