Regina King is having a pretty great year and a half, isn’t she? Over her already-great career, she starred in numerous films and was already a household name, as an Oscar winner, when she landed the lead in “Watchmen.” However, the popularity of that show (and the awards recognition she received) opened her career up even more. And then you have her directorial debut, “One Night in Miami…” which is poised to make King an Oscar darling, only adding to her success.

Oscar winner Regina King will portray America’s first Black Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm in the John Ridley written and directed feature Shirley which Participant will produce.

Regina King made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut tonight and kicked off her show remembering her “pretty wild career.” However, the Oscar-winning actress knows that audiences may have first learned of her from different titles.

Spike Lee's to Regina King's, Shaka King's and Lee Daniel's, each film serves as a time capsule — capturing the events of the era from which it was inspired — but are also as timely today as ever, speaking directly to a culture that still needs to experience these stories.
