biography
A relative newcomer to Hollywood, petite singer-actress Anika Noni Rose made her major screen debut in 2003’s disastrous dud – the “American Idol” spin-off film, “From Justin to Kelly,” but was best known for her work on the live stage. A Tony Award winner for her feature role in 2004’s “Caroline, or Change,” Rose landed her biggest role to date in 2006 as Lorrell Robinson, the third Dreamette in the hotly anticipated big screen version of the legendary musical, “Dreamgirls.”Born in Bloomfield, CT on Sept. 6, 1972, Rose got her first taste of acting while performing in a high school production
