The Fabulous Jurnee Smollett in January's VANITY FAIR
Jurnee Smollett, a long time frank-favorite since her riveting performance in Eve's Bayou, currently graces the pages of VANITY FAIR. Even though the production style for the shoot is a bit David LaChapellish, homegirl still looks absolutely fabulous.
In case you're living under a rock and haven't heard yet, Jurnee stars in Denzel Washington's new (and recently Golden Globe nominated) drama, The Great Debaters, which opened Christmas day.
During my first year of graduate school, while I was a teaching assistant for a course at NYU on "feminist theater and drama," I had the pleasure of meeting Jurnee when she sat in on one of my class sessions (her sister, the equally talented Jazz Smollett was one of my students). I've always been impressed with the graceful sophistication, talent, and poise of the Smollett women.
Go 'head on girls.
I just saw the Great Debators last night and all I can say is that it's a shame that this woman had not received any nominations are huge prase. she held her own is a male dominated cast of great actors. I look forward to seeing more of her work in the future.
