Carmen Ejogo: (on playing Sally Hemings in "Sally Hemings: An American Scandal") From an actor's point of view, it's a dream role. I play Sally from 15 through 53 or 54. It is just an enormous time span to tackle. The development of her personality and the challenges she has to face are just tremendous as well.
Carmen has also worked as a singer, TV host, and veejay.
She met her husband, Jeffrey, on the set of Boycott (2001). She played Coretta Scott King, wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was played by Jeffrey.
Carmen’s father is Nigerian, and her mother is Scottish.
