Kerry Washington

If you will put up Kerry Washington’s baby photos and her recent shots, you will say that she did not change that much. She still has that distinct smile that gives her that mischievous look which is adorable at the same time. Washington pursued a degree in sociology and anthropology before she took up acting. Her first on-screen role was in Magical Make-Over. She then followed this up with Our Song, Save the Last Dance, Bad Company, and The Human Stain.

One of her most memorable roles was in Scandal, where she took on the role of Olivia Pope. Thanks to her impressive performance, Washington received an Outstanding Actress in Drama Series award from the NAACP Image Awards. The actress was paid more than $1 million per episode, which is not surprising given her caliber in acting. Her recent work was in Little Fires Everywhere opposite Reese Witherspoon.
