Introduction
Kerry Washington, the daughter of a successful real estate broker father and a professor and educational consultant mother, is best known for her roles in Ray, The Fantastic Four, and I Think I Love My Wife.
Life Story
Washington has made a pretty good career for herself by acting along side some of the best actors in the business, and she is constanly overshadowed by them. She made her screen debut in Magical Make-Over, and was then cast on a PBS sketch comedy-style educational series Standard Deviants (yes, a PBS Comedy?). She climbed the short latter of success by appearing in the short "3D" and the feature film Our Song before going on to roles in several movies, including Save the Last Dance, The Human Stain, Spike Lee's She Hate Me, Ray, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, I Think I Love My Wife, Little Man, and The Last King of Scotland. Washington has also appeared in the recurring role Chelina Hall on the ABC television series Boston Legal, and in several episodes of the A&E cable-TV series 100 Centre Street.
She is the new spokeperson for L'Oreal starring in commercials and ads alongside fellow actresses Scarlett Johansson and Eva Longoria, and model Doutzen Kroes. So she will not have wrinkles when she is older.
