Regina Taylor
The song “This Girl Is On Fire” aptly describes the acclaimed Golden Globe Award and NAACP Image Award-winning actress and activist Regina Taylor who is hot this summer with new projects. Taylor is in pre-production on a film entitled Justified which also stars Academy Award and Golden Globe Award-nominated actress Aunjuanue Ellis, who received critical acclaim playing the Venus sister's mom in King Richard. Taylor also gives a critically acclaimed portrayal as Marion Shields Robinson, the mother of former First Lady Michelle Obama, on the Showtime series The First Lady. Taylor can also be seen on the CBS series Blue Bloods playing NYPD Captain Terrell. In addition, Taylor is currently a part of a collective called the African Diasporic Network that will debut Echoes of Us: Now and Always from July 15-17 at the Marines Memorial Theatre in San Francisco, CA. The narrative is a combination of monologues that tell the versatile stories of African-Americans. Taylor will be joined by a number of other renowned artists including novelist Pearl Cleage, playwright, screenwriter, and associate professor at the Tisch School of the Arts Richard Wesley, actress Anna Maria Horsford and Bay area actor, poet, and spoken word artist and rapper Jamey Williams.
