What was the first thing you auditioned for The first thing I auditioned for was an Infinity commercial. And I got it Laughs. Is that true, or was it Spike Lees Malcolm X Its a tossup. Im not sure which one. I did not get Malcom X. And were you living in New York thenI was living in New York when I started my acting career. I had just come out of college and I was actually working in the fashion industry. I was a fashion editorI guess a contributing editor, you would say, an intern at first at Mirabella magazine. Oh, wow, I loved Mirabella. Were you split in your interests between doing fashion becoming an actressTracee Ellis Ross Has Definitive Proof That Diana Ross Is the Greatest Mom of All Time. Best known as the the lead singer of the popular 1960s singing group The Supremes, Diana Ernestine Earle Ross was born on March 26, 1944, in Detroit. Diana Ross Greatest Hits Song ListI wasnt actually split in my interest. I have always been a lover of clothing and beauty and aesthetics and all of that. I had wanted to model when I was younger and then that kind of translated into me realizing that I was in love with images and the fashion industry. But in college I discovered acting even though I was quite shy, which I know is really hard to imagine. Laughs. I realized that it was a very honest form of expression for me, so I was working in the fashion industry and taking more acting classes, even though that was what I had studied at Brown. And then I just kind of jumped off the cliff into the acting world. And so after you did the ad were you hookedDid you get an agent and move to L. A. No. It was not quite that easy. I did a show that was like a MTV House of Style, but about TV. It was called The Dish, on Lifetime. Then I did my first film, Far Harbor, and it was Marcia Gay Harden and Jennifer Connelly and they were looking for a black Jewish girl. That was me. Laughs. And then from that moment I started meeting people. I used to write thank you notes to everybody and if someone would say, You should meet so and so. I would say, Would you mind calling them for me and they would set up a meeting and then I eventually moved to Los Angeles and I did an NBC movie of the week and I felt like I had, like, won the jackpot. Laughs. What did you play in the movie of the weekUh, a rape victim. Oh, dear. Yes. I was a track star rape victim. And then I got Lyricist Lounge, which was the MTV sketch comedy show and it kind of took off from there. From the moment I got the NBC movie of the week I have not stopped working. With Black ish, was the character written with you in mind Kenya Barris wrote the character of Rainbow Johnson with me in mind. But I know how this industry works and I do not take that as a yes. So I auditioned. Did you always know from the beginning that it would be the big moment that it is I was on the airplane the other day and I was walking up the aisle and literally every other seat was watching Black ish. Oh, really Um, I dont know. You know, I think the hope when you start every project is that its going to go well. Laughs. But you just dont know. And the truth is if you look at the landscape of television, I mean, some of my favorite shows did not turn into, like, big hits. I dont knowtheres a magic element. Barbie As Rapunzel A Creative Adventure Game here. Thats one of the reasons doing television is so fun is theres so many pieces that make it work. Whether its ABC really supporting our show and making sure that people knew where and when it was, or the actual incredible writing that we have. Or the chemistry with the cast. And, by the way, there are times when you really get along with your cast and think its the best chemistry, but it doesnt play onscreen. So you never know sort of what the mix is thats going to make something happen. But I think we had a really good feeling on this one. I think its telling a story that needs to be told.

Is that important to you that there actually be something about a character that says something about women being more than just attractive and not doing anything Because on network TVIts not always the case. Its not always the case, and often the women who play the wives are way hotter than the husbands, and dont seem to do anything other than say, Ill take care of the kids while you go off and do whatever you do. Theres a lot of interesting things about the character that I play on Black ish, but theres also something that I am drawn to in the roles that I choose to inhabit. And I am interested in playing the kinds of women that I see and know in the world. I am somebody who believes that women are many things, that women are nuanced and complex. And one of the things that I think is incredibly interesting about Bow that is the thing that Im grateful to play. Its not just that she has a point of view, not just that she has job, not just that shes a momthat shes all these things. You know, its how we are in life. So early on, who was your TV crush Oh, I love Jason Bateman on Silver Spoons growing up. Im not gonna lie. It was Jason Bateman. Laughs. So Silver Spoons, not later on Jason Bateman. Well, it started on Silver Spoons. I mean, I traveled with him to other shows. Laughs. Did you have a cinematic crushI cant think ofI dont know. I like the men. I remember I thought Jeremy Irons was extraordinary growing up. Hes such an actor and he had so much depth and gravitas to him, I felt like there was something there. Did you have posters Whod you have on your wall Do you know who I had on my wall I had Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista and Stephanie Seymour. I mean, yeah, thats what I had on my wall. So did you borrow clothes from your momBecause your mom must have had an archive to end all archives. Lynn, youre very kind to say did I borrow clothes from my mother. It sort of was more like stealing. Im not going to lie. She would leave the house and I went in her room and looked out the window and saw her car go down the driveway, and I marched myself right into her bathroom and started taking clothes. What I liked to do is put them in my closet and live with them as if they were mine. Laughs. Oh god. And my mom walked back in the room, in the bathroom. Laughs. And she was like, What are you doing I was like, Im organizing your closet for youWhat are you doing She said, I forgot something. And I was like, Oh Can I help you find it Laughter. So, yeah, I, I was known for that. And still I call it shopping. I go to my moms housemy mom has the most extraordinary taste, top to bottom, whether its the dishes or the clothes, from t shirts to gowns to hats to coats. I call it shopping, and to this day whenever I go over to my moms I sometimes look at my brother, Evan, and Im like, Should we go shopping And I will ask if I can take something and she always says, No. My mom will say no often.
