Kerry Washington

Before graduating as a double major with a degree in anthropology and sociology, Kerry Washington has already had the chance to meet a big-name celebrity. Besides studying acting and performing on local stage productions, Kerry also learned how to dance. Throughout that period, there were times when the instructor wasn’t available, so they had sessions with a substitute dance teacher, who just so happened to be Jennifer Lopez.

By the looks of it, it’s safe to say all these experiences helped Kerry become the celebrity she is today. Beginning her career under the spotlight in 1994, the actress eventually garnered widespread fame and recognition for her role as Olivia Pope on the drama series Scandal. Since then, she has worked on other projects such as Confirmation, The Last King of Scotland, and Django Unchained. Not to mention, Kerry is set to star and produce the upcoming films 24/7 and Shadow Force.
