You hear tier child actor, you probably think of tragedy, the where are they now moment. But Marsai Martin said, all that. At 10 years old, she was a star on one of the biggest shows on network television, Black ish. If you know Diane Johnson, Diane was a brilliant mind, and that character was a glimpse of what Marseille would become. And by 14, it wasn't about being a cast member anymore. She made a best move and pitched a film. She starred in it and became the youngest executive producer in Hollywood history. And this is because Marseille understood something at a very young young age. Being famous doesn't mean being powerful. Let's be real. Hollywood loves the child star tragedy story. Marseille decided to write a new tale for child actors, one that takes the dismissal of a black girl and turns it into $49,000,000. What's your thoughts? Drop your take in the comments. Let's talk about it.
