Lupita Nyong’o In Vanity Fair March Issue, Talks Fear In ‘12 Years A Slave’ Performance
Lupita Nyong’o, featured in the Vanities section of Vanity Fair March issue. Born in Mexico to Kenyan parents in political exile, Nyong’o was raised in Kenya before enrolling in Hampshire College and eventually the Yale School of Drama.
She shares an alma mater with Meryl Streep, Patricia Clarkson, Angela Bassett, and Sigourney Weaver, but her road to the Yale School of Drama, and her breakthrough performance in 12 Years a Slave, was unlike any other.
Her first screen role is a powerful, unforgettable one, playing the slave Patsey who is befriended by ChiwetelEjiofor’s Solomon Northup, a freeman living in upstate New York who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841.
