Some famous performers come to the cinema after a long search for their niche in life. And on the creative path they achieve success. An example of this is the biography of the actress Sanaa Lathan.
Timid start
To achieve your goal in any field of activity, you need to believe in your strengths and abilities. Be persistent and not afraid of the difficulties that arise. The future Hollywood star was born on September 19, 1971 in a family of show business workers. At that time, the parents lived in the famous city of New York. My father worked as a television operator. The mother, a professional dancer, performed in musicals on the Broadway stage, and in between performances she was engaged in raising a child.
Sanaa Lathen grew up as an obedient girl. From an early age, she demonstrated dancing skills. She studied well at school, but did not demonstrate a special desire for knowledge. I enjoyed doing gymnastics and athletics in physical education lessons. In high school she attended a choreographic studio. After graduating from high school, Sanaa entered the acting department at the New York High School of the Arts. Many popular artists gained knowledge here.
The path to the profession
Lathan received a specialized education and tried to get some theater to work. In one art temple, she did not pass the casting. In another, she was accepted for a trial period, but after the trial expired, the contract was not renewed. So as not to waste time, Sanaa went to the California city of Berkeley and entered the screenwriting department of the local university. A year later, she transferred to Yale University for the Department of Dramatic Arts. Upon completion of the course of study, she received a master's degree in art history.
Both her parents and Sanaa herself felt that theoretical training was enough for her. At one point, Lathan came to Los Angeles and was cast. She was approved as a supporting actress in the movie "Drive". By that time, the actress was 25 years old. This fact did not bother her at all. Having received the first experience on the set, she felt relaxed and confident in her abilities. A year later, she convincingly embodied the main character on the screen in the film "Blade".
Career and personal life
At some point, luck smiled at the actress Lathan. The rule came into force: now empty, now thick. In 1999, she managed to work in four projects. Of these, critics noted the films "Life" and "Love and Basketball". Inventions Sanaa "mastered" three projects. Of these, "Dark Sugar" is considered the main one.
Lathan's acting career was successful. You can't say that about your personal life. The fact is that the actress refuses to answer questions on this topic. Yes, it’s not so easy to find a husband. And there are enough worthy applicants for this title around. It is possible that Sanaa is not yet ready to become a wife.
