Da’Vine Joy Randolph Instagram – Actress Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Golden Globe winner and SAG Award nominee for @theholdoversfilm, joins #TheEnvelope video podcast to chat with host @villarrealy about her mission to “give voice to the voiceless” in every role and how she prepares to be her own dramaturg, delving into a role before she even steps foot on set. In #TheHoldovers, @davinejoy plays Mary Lamb, the cafeteria manager and head cook at a snooty New England boys’ boarding school in 1970. Mary, grieving the death of her son in Vietnam, is one of the few Black faces on the Barton Academy campus. Cooking for spoiled white kids, displaced from the rest of her family, she reveals her resentment with a cutting look here, a sly comment there. She carries a sense of not belonging. Randolph, who grew up in prep and performing arts schools and earned her MFA from the Yale School of Drama, could relate. Later in the episode, Ava DuVernay chats with host @shawnfinniebeflourishing about adapting Isabel Wilkerson‘s book #Caste into @ava’s ambitious new feature “Origin,” which interrogates the roots of discrimination.
