A somber kindergarten portrait marks the beginning of a challenging life for a now-famous actress, who rose from extreme poverty to stardom. Born in a one-room shanty on a South Carolina farm, her family faced severe hardship, including food insecurity, broken plumbing, and rat infestations. Despite these struggles, education became her refuge, and she excelled in school, participating in extracurriculars like music, drama, and sports. Her passion for acting grew after a neighborhood talent contest, leading her to pursue college with financial aid and a major in drama. Accepted to Juilliard, her career took off, earning her a Tony nomination by 29. She later transitioned to film, receiving an Oscar nomination for “Doubt” in 2008. Today, she advocates for others who have faced similar struggles.
