In HBO's Westworld, among several female characters, in addition to Deloris's sweet and impressive, I think there is another female character, who is also very successful, this role is not Maeve, but Charlotte Hale, a senior executive of del Delos, an extremely shrewd and mysterious black woman.
When watching "Westworld", I really didn't think she was a black person, and there was a big difference between her facial features and Maeve's;
When she appears on camera, she is always meticulous in professional attire, with curly black hair, gorgeous red lips, sometimes flashing, sometimes firm eyes, and her acting skills are bursting.
Charlotte Hale is played by Tessa Lynn Thompson, born in Los Angeles on October 3, 1983, the son of a singer-songwriter.
She spent her early years in Los Angeles and Brooklyn, New York, with a well-to-do family.
Influenced by her father, Tessa developed a keen interest in singing and stage performances from an early age, dreaming of becoming a singer-songwriter like her father in the future.
After graduating from Santa Monica High School, she originally wanted to enter acting school, but because many acting schools in the United States are not friendly to black people, after much consideration, she accepted her father's advice and entered Santa Monica University to study cultural anthropology, and eventually earned a bachelor's degree, but she did not give up her dream, during college, she taught herself several acting courses.
Tessa is only 163 centimeters tall, which limits some of her development in the field of fashion, and she cannot rely on her outstanding figure like many girls who come to Hollywood to break in, and even become a model.
But Tessa has her own unique strengths, which is her unique voice, full of seduction and sexiness, which is memorable.
Therefore, she initially chose stage plays and debuted as a singer.
A difficult road to acting
In 2002, the 20-year-old Tessa officially began her acting career by starring in the stage play "The Tempest";
But in the next 10 years, her career has not improved, has been on the edge of the show business, and she also poured most of her energy into stage performances and polished her acting skills.
During this period, she will also participate in some TV series, although they are some inconspicuous small roles, but she has never slackened off and conscientiously played the role well.
In 2014, at the age of 32, Tessa finally got a chance to be the heroine of the movie "Dear Caucasians";
The film is a breakthrough film about race, as well as gender, and Tessa seized the opportunity to win the 24th Gotham Independent Film Awards Breakthrough Actor of the Year Award.
The next year, she was given the opportunity to change her destiny.
She was spotted by Stallone, and she was hooked up with Michael Sylvania. B. Jordan and Stallone himself starred in "Quidditch", playing Bianca, who dreamed of becoming a singer.
"Quidditch", a film about boxing, has not made much splash in China, but its box office performance in North America is even higher than that of "Bumblebee" in the same period, with a box office of more than 80 million US dollars, which is still very amazing.
Tessa Thompson not only won the 14th African American Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actress for the film, but also opened up popularity in North America, allowing more audiences and Hollywood producers to pay attention to such a black girl.
Since then, she has continued to make films, and has successively taken over several more important roles.
In 2016, he starred in the HBO science fiction drama "Westworld" series;
(In February 2022, Tessa Thompson was on the New York set for the fourth season of Westworld.)
In 2017, he played the sexy "Valkyrie" Valkyrie in the fantasy film "Thor 3 &4";
In 2018, starred in the thriller Annihilation, playing the clever physicist Josh Radek;
In 2019, he starred in the science fiction film "Men in Black: Global Pursuit" and so on;
Recently, Tessa's "Thor 4" and "Westworld 4" will be released one after another;
At the beginning of this year, Tessa Thompson became the latest spokesperson for Armani Beauty and the first black spokesperson;
In the past two days, Armani Beauty has announced that it will jointly create a promotional blockbuster with Tessa to promote the new product "Lip power" lipstick.
An extraordinary view of marriage and love
After filming Thor 3: Twilight of the Gods, Tessa Thomson once revealed to fans through social platforms: "(Valkyrie) Valkyrie is unisex, and she doesn't care much about how men look at her..."
Because of her remarks, combined with the movie plot in "Thor 3", Valkyrie became the first superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to disclose her transgender identity (LGBT).
In June 2018, Tessa Thompson publicly stated in an interview:
"I like men and I like women, and if I take men or women home, we won't discuss them."
On her social media profile, she also tagged a rainbow flag symbolizing transgender people.
At the same time, she confessed that she was deeply in love with the American female singer Ganel Mona.
Once in the MV of Ganel Monay's album, Tessa helped, and the performance of the two in front of the camera was intimate and inflammatory.
In May 2021, Tessa was photographed with singer Rita Aura and Thor 3 & 4 director Taiga Viditti sitting on the side of the road, drinking champagne and kissing each other while drunk.
Even in the very open United States, this behavior was despised, because Tessa had a model boyfriend who was dating at that time, which was really messy!
However, don't be fooled by appearances:
Now Hollywood is a strange thing, do not make literary films, do not mark the LGBT, actresses do not want to mix their heads, many actresses may not be sincerely want to mark this mark.
At the same time, this mark is also a kind of self-protection.
epilogue:
Tessa Thompson once said in an interview: "Different people have different opinions about the definition of beauty..."
