Heather Headley vs Cynthia Erivo
Posted by: Zelgo 06:41 am EST 02/14/20

Why has Erivo been able to launch a stellar career after her Bway splash while Headley couldn’t? Both are black actresses who came into the public eye with a Tony Award winning role. Erivo was just nominated for Best Actress and Best Song Oscars. Erivo is stunning in HBO’s hit The Outsider. Headley released a few sappy albums, and then she pretty much disappeared although she was very vocal about her big ambitions. How has Erivo carved out the career Headley wanted?
