Actor Thandie Newton tells the story of finding her "otherness" first, as a child growing up in two distinct cultures, and then as an actor playing with many different selves
Thandie Newton, well known actor (Crash, Mission Impossible, The Pursuit of Happyness) talks about a profound internal journey through which she came to terms with her own otherness. Born to an English father and African mother, she grew up feeling isolated by her differentness. She had no sense of self or how to “fit in.”
Acting and dancing saved her life — giving her an outlet for a unique and complex expression of who she was. As she shared her individual struggle to overcome the feeling of being the other, she gave us new understandings about what really divides us, makes us different, and drives our choices and interactions with each other.
