Kerry Washington contemplated suicide!

Did you think any of you will read this book when it comes out?

Who?

by Anonymousreply 1September 22, 2023 5:43 PM

Why?

If she'd done it while on that TV show I never watched, I suspect there'd be more interest. But who even checks for her anymore?

Not into her other roles but her performance in Django unchained is one of my favorites by an actress.

Her career must really be in the shitter.

I have never cared for her. I think she is talented, and very lovely, but she seems cold and rather mechanical in real life.

by Anonymousreply 7September 22, 2023 6:23 PM

Will she discuss her torrid affair with Tony Goldwyn?

by Anonymousreply 8September 22, 2023 6:24 PM

I like her, but she seems in her head to be more famous than she really is.

Why be soo private about your life? It’s not like people actually give a fuck who your husband is or what your kids look like.

Unless you are hiding something.

I knew her in college. She was a theater major at GWU… completely affected and very dramatic - even back then and even for a theater major.

Talented and extremely driven too.

I wasn’t surprised when she became successful.

Don’t understand the intense privacy.

It’s not like she was on Brad Pitt/Angelina level of fame.

Why lie about your name when getting an abortion??? You ain’t that famous, Kerry.

I know a ton of folks that worked with her at a retail store when she was in college and they all absolutely love her. I mean seriously love her. Said she was one of the nicest people they ever worked with or met, was a hard worker and never a slacker, and this was obviously before she was famous, but none of them seem surprised she’s been as successful as she is and they are all very happy for her.

I never met her, but she sounds like good people to me.

r34, I knew her when she was in college, and I too thought she was one of the kindest, most genuine people I knew at that time. I'm happy for all the success she's had. When we said goodbye after her graduation, I had a feeling she was going to make it. And she did!

She was interviewed yesterday on Access Hollywood talking about how hard she worked to keep her wedding private, not even telling the designer of the white dress it was for her wedding. I thought it was odd…it’s not like she was marrying Prince William. Did anyone care? She never seemed interesting enough for much beyond the occasional US Weekly story.

r43 she might not have been that interesting to the gays, but maybe she was to straight women at the time of her engagement? I mean she did marry her husband just as Scandal had taken off into the stratosphere. She likely was just trying to preserve what little personal life she had.

by Anonymousreply 45September 28, 2023 2:02 AM

Please R45 - Kerry's marriage and babies are total PR (she don't even really like black men like that lol) and she did have an affair with Tony! Pictures say a lot! Compare her pics with her PR husband to Goldwyn and Pascal.

I like Kerry Washington as an actress, but, IMO, her book seems completely unessential. She comes across as super uninteresting. Flip side - maybe that's the point - seemingly uninteresting people on the surface might have great autobiographies.

Scandal was essentially a nighttime soap. I don't think of "soap" as a negative.

Did she also mull over, scrutinize, examine, consider, weigh the merits of, ponder, deliberate, and ruminate upon it?

I love how over the top the celebrity praise for the book is on the amazon page... "If Kerry Washington's superpower in acting is that she can make the viewer feel intimate with someone we've never known, her writing superpower is that she can make us relive a life we've never lived." “With a true gift for prose, Kerry Washington conveys an intoxicating passion and gratitude for her life."

Her husband is supposed to be hot isn't he?

I find her annoying. She seems cold, driven, ambitious, and very inauthentic. Like, phony. When she tries to be nice, you can see the "try"

I find it interesting that my black friends know everything about the work of black actresses like Kerry Washington and Gabrielle Union, whereas my white friends might know their names, but probably couldn't identify them by just a photo. It might just be that they're B list celebs and that is a crowded list.

Off the top of my head I couldn't name a single film or tv project Washington has ever been in even though I know she has worked quite a bit.

by Anonymousreply 59September 28, 2023 3:54 PM

If you saw The LAst King of Scotland, or Ray, she was in both of those. TV she starred in Scandal, a very successful TV series, and she was in Little Fires Everywhere with Reese Witherspoon, and Unprisoned with Delroy Lindo as her ex con father.

I've liked her in films/shows but I agree, she's a bit of a cold customer. She does not have the emotional depth to go where the script wants her to go.

On Scandal, when she wanted to display anger or intensity, she started to develop a weird tic with her lips to show it. She just couldn't show it otherwise.

She certainly plays an in charge type well, and she and Tony Goldwyn had chemistry to burn.

by Anonymousreply 63September 28, 2023 7:06 PM

She's often been too thin; even if she is a fairly petite woman naturally.

Agree with R63. She's often very good, but something is missing that keeps her from being a truly great. Scandal seemed to be written to her strengths.

by Anonymousreply 64September 28, 2023 7:09 PM

R63 nailed it. She lacks the emotional depth she needs for her characters. And YES! I thought it was just me but that thing she does with her mouth. Ugh. So annoying. And if you saw little fires everywhere which was kind of good in a soap opera way, she did it a lot in Little Fires. It was a kind of sneering expression.

I did read the book. (Library....I wasn't paying full price, gurl.)

It was actually well written. She didn't say it, but I think parts of her life sort of explain some of the coldness and emotional walls that come up in her work.

by Anonymousreply 80November 1, 2023 9:24 PM

She definitely reminds me of Sandra Oh. Although Oh can play vulnerable and sweet a bit better, but they both excel at being in charge bitches.
