Oscar-nominated actor says she has had to compromise because of dearth of complex roles in UK and Hollywood
Hard Truths star Marianne Jean-Baptiste has said there is still “a dearth of great multilayered roles for black women” in the UK and Hollywood, a week after missing out on an Oscar nomination.
Jean-Baptiste, who became the first black British woman to be nominated for an Oscar in 1997, told the Radio Times she had been forced to compromise in her career because of the lack of complex roles on offer.
