Ep 189. Daphne Maxwell Reid

This week on Drama School Dropout I am joined by the amazing, Daphne Maxwell Reid. We chat about the SAG AFTRA strike, working at a news station, unions, the price of Spotlight, being the first black woman to be on the cover of Glamour Magazine, acting on camera, being a trailblazing woman, replacing Janet Hubert as Aunt Vivian on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and how she originally passed on the role a few years earlier, how Will Smith paid for everyone to decorate their dressing rooms, Idris Elba, working with your partner, skipping acting class to see the Queen’s coffin, having your hair chopped off without consent, condoms being blown up to the tune of ‘Voulez Vous’ by Abba and our favourite pick me up songs.
