Too much work? Just do it, Taraji Henson says
MIKE CIDONI LENNOX
The Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, California — Taraji
P. Henson almost backed out of
writing her autobiography
because she was reluctant to
expose herself to scrutiny. She
could have bypassed a starring
role in a film about NASA’s
unsung female mathematicians
because of her taxing work as the
formidable Cookie on Fox’s
Empire.
But the actor gathered her will
and did both. The result is Around
the Way Girl, to be published Oct.
11, and the January theatrical
release of Hidden Figures, in
which she plays Katherine Johnson, one of the real-life AfricanAmerican women who were a critical part of the space program.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Henson discussed the
projects as she awaits the Sept. 21
Taraji P. Henson: Autobiography
to be published in October.
RICH FURY, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
return of Empire and what’s ahead
for Cookie and her family after
last season’s cliffhanger ending.
In it, her ex-husband and sparring
partner, Lucious (Terrence
Howard), married Anika (Grace
Gealey) — who might or might not
have survived a brawl with
Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday). The
questions and answers were
edited for clarity and brevity.
Associated Press: Let’s talk
about the upcoming autobiography.
Henson: I am exposing myself
and it is just very, very scary and
there were a couple times where I
almost backed out, where I’m just
going to write them their cheque
and say: ‘I just don’t want to do it.’
And it was my beautiful makeup
artist, Ashunta Sheriff, who recalibrated me and focused me on
why I decided to write the book.
People find my life inspiring. And,
as an artist, that’s what you should
do: inspire people. ... A little
around-the-way girl from
the hood was able to dream
because of all the people who
came before me, and weren’t
afraid to dream and weren’t
afraid to go out and do it: the
Lucille Balls, the Bette Davises,
the Phylicia Rashads, the Debbie
Allens, the Diahann Carrolls. The
list goes on and on. If I didn’t have
them to look at, who knows that I
could even dream, or make them
come true?
AP: Like those women in NASA
in Hidden Figures?
Henson: Well, I’m no mathematician, but I play one. (Laughs.)
It’s a movie based on these incredible women who helped our men
get to space.
Who knew that? Who knew that
women had anything to do with
men getting to the moon? Who
knew? You see all the footage, all
the documentaries, and you just
see a room full of smoking men.
So then I find out about these
women and I redo my research

and I’m like: ‘OK, where’s the
woman?’ I know I’m going to see
her. Because now I know they
exist.’ That bothered me and I
made it my mission to do this film.
... And it was the hardest thing I
ever had to do, because I’m used
to supporting movies. I’ve never
carried a show and then went on
to carrying a film. That was hard
but worth it for Katherine Johnson’s story.
AP: So is this a case of a body in
motion staying in motion?
Henson: You have to strike
while the iron is hot. People are
interested. And this is the moment
every artist prays about. Look, I
grew up in an era where women
were done at 40.
Meryl Streep thought she was
done at 40. And just watching her
trajectory gave me hope. Edie
Falco from The Sopranos, she didn’t hit until she was 36. That’s
hope.
