  28. Kyra

    Hi, my name is Kyra Harris and I am writing on behalf of the Bessie Smith movie. I feel I would be a great addition/extra for this move because I love acting , blues, Bessie smith life story, and the admiration to be a part of a movie with Queen Latifah. I have researched Ms. Bessie Smith since high school and her stories were so deep and heartfelt and to know of her problems with alcoholism really show how and what we turn to in times of depression. Queen Latifah is the perfect person to play the part due to her deep roots in jazz and soul music. Cant wait til the movie comes out.

    Hi,

    I am almost 40yrs old with two sons, one in the Air Force and one headed to middle school. I also have one granddaughter who is 15months old. I am a gospel rapper and poet but acting has always been a passion of mine. As a single mom, this dream has been placed on hold for my family. I feel that now is the time to pursue. They say better late than never and I am ready for my “better late”. Thank you for anytime that you may have.

    Blessings to you all,
    Christina

    Hi, my name is Natosha Humphrey, and I am an aspiring actress. I would love to be a part of this film. I love singing and acting, and I’m trying to get my foot in the door. I have been in several plays and have been a film extra. It’s hard to find acting jobs living in Mississippi with a single mom who’s a teacher with three kids, so knowing that this is in Louisiana whether for only part of the time or for the whole project is amazing. I’d really appreciate your consideration, whether for a role or as an extra. Thank you so much for your time. With or without me, good luck!
