Perhaps best known as the fierce and fashionable Olivia Pope on Scandal, Kerry Washington has had quite an impressive career. Her other films include hits Ray, Django Unchained, Fantastic Four, and many more.
Before acting, Kerry graduated from George Washington University with a double major in anthropology and sociology. More recently, Kerry was voted as one of the “Most Influential People in the World” by Time Magazine.
In addition to her fabulous style, Kerry was appointed by President Barack Obama to the President’s Committee of the Arts and Humanities and is an active member of V-day, which helps end violence among girls and women.
She is currently married to NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha and together they have a daughter named Isabelle and a son named Caleb. Kerry is smart, beautiful, kind-hearted, and fashionable—now that’s a killer combination!
