Regina King is one of the most under-rated actors of our time. Watching her be so humble and gracious as she’s talking about her costars and directors makes me admire her that much more.

Skipped over Poetic Justice and Ray?! ????

Regina King is a very versatile actress. She’s able to play different roles and be very good at it

She’s a true legend. But how could you skip “American Crime” Vanity Fair? That was the single role that catapulted her career. If it wasn’t for her performance there, a lot of what came next with “If Beal Streed Could Talk” and “One Night in Miami” would’ve never happened. They definitely should’ve included that in this, that was a disappointing move.

Regina King will always be my fairy godmother, the epitome of my childhood. Not even Hilary Duff left an impression like that on me. And this film was amateur hour for her too. Ms. King you are a great actress!

THANK YOU for doing Southland. It’s one of the best TV shows ever made – The Wire is a great portrait of a city, but Southland is the best portrait of what it means to be a cop

What’s surprising is that someone as ugly and with so little talented such as Regina King has a career. She was awful in Watchmen.

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
