Every now and then, the world needs a friendly reminder that Alfre Woodard is, in fact, one of the best actors of our generation.
She’s been in the industry for over forty years taking on memorable roles in movies like Passion Fish and Love & Basketball.
Recently, she brought her powerhouse talent to the movie Clemency, where she plays a prison warden responsible for the execution of a Black man who says he didn’t commit a murder. Along with Wendell Pierce, Woodard gives a heartbreaking yet complex performance that further proves why she’ll go down as one of the greats. The movie can currently be viewed on Hulu.
