Sandra Oh
Wherein one of the greatest actresses of our generation chimes in on Hollywood racism, and still produces fantastic work.
I'm always surprised when people don't really know who Sandra Oh is, or her body of work. I'm equally surprised they only know her from Grey's Anatomy--a show I didn't watch at all until I binged the first 10 seasonas after Killing Eve was a thing. Killing Eve was such a fantastic thing, and as much as Jodi Comer shared equal billing, Sandra Oh made that show.
If you're susprised by the excellence you see on screen you're not watching my Sandra and that means starting with Double Happiness one of three of her collaborations with director Mina Shum, all of which are fantastic. She followed that closely with Don McKellar's apocalyptic Last Night, which I love but find less compelling overall largely becuase of McKellar's directing and writing.
The Guardian got together with Sandra recently for a fantastic interview wherein she discusses her most recent film (also fantastic) her career, Hollywood's persistent racism (and sexism) and the energy she's exerting to change that. It's a solid read from one of the most talented, thoughtful actresses of the last 40 years.
