jurnee smollett

##title##

Smollett was born in New York City, the daughter of Janet, a humanitarian and civil rights activist, and Joel Smollett. Her father is Jewish and her mother is African American. Smollett's parents separated in 1997, later finalizing that six-year separation with divorce in 2003. The fourth of six performing siblings, she received critical acclaim for her performance as ten-year-old Eve in the independent film Eve's Bayou (1997). In casting the role, writer-director Kasi Lemmons envisioned "a light-skinned black child who could convey the nuances of a Creole child in the 60s."
