Kerry Washington says she invented a “red carpet Kerry” persona when she lost out on a job:
“When I was talking about it with my team and other people that I respect in the business, there was an idea that [the actress who booked it] was more of an “It” girl. She was utilizing her personal marketing in a way that gave her more leverage. I didn’t want to prioritize marketing over craft, but I started asking myself if I was hiding and if I needed to challenge myself to step forward into hair and makeup and fashion in a different way.” bit.ly/4gf2vw3
