Kerry Washington Covers LA Times Magazine + Talks Social Justice (While Looking Pretty)

There’s just something about actress, Kerry Washington, that makes me stop and stare. Outside of the typical girl crush that most of us have, Washington’s performances on screen also seem to catch our (yeah, you too) attention.

LA Times

Washington is covering the current December 2010 issue of LA Times Magazine where she discusses her social justice hustle (she campaigned for Obama during the last presidential election), art and what’s currently on her acting plate.

Check random sh*t about Washington and more photos that’ll make you stop and stare, as you should…

For the short attention spanned folk, randomness that (sorta) surprised me about Washington:

• She’s from the Bronx
• Her momma’s name is Valerie
• In her latest project, Night Catches Us., she plays a single mom and former Black Panther living in 1970s Philadelphia
• As a child, she took ballet and was in the church choir

Read things that are a bit deeper than the above @ the LA Times.
