Will and Jada Pinkett
HollyWood's Royal Black Family
As Will CELEBRATES the $107.3 Million Dollar Weekend OPENING of his latest Blockbuster installment, HANCOCK, I have decided to take a Moment to SPOTLIGHT this Black Family of the HollyWood Circuit.
Its very rare, that two Amazingly attractive, talented, ambitious, and head strong individuals, with obvious leadership qualities, can unite, and remain united for 12 Years. It seems like a Short period of time when compared to the 40+ and 50+ years that some of our grandparents and great grandparents remained married. However, in this day and time, ESPECIALLY in regards to how our generation jumps in and out of relationships, 12 years is monumental. Amongst the Hollywood Circuit, inately, 12 years may as well be a Lifetime. Still, against all Odds and beyond all Favorites, Will and Jada have managed to keep their machine of family togetherness, going Strong; in spite of Public Spectacle and Massive Public Attention.
We've ALL 'Heard' the RUMORS in regards to Will and Jada's Passions that include living a 'Swinger' Lifestyle; meanwhile, both being involved in Same-Sex relationships, and using their marriage as a Cover-Up for these extra-marital affairs. However, whether these rumors serve any real Merit isnt necessarily relevant to the fact that together, Will & Jada have managed to create their own Production Company; spearheading such television projects as 'ALL OF US', as well as the Soon-to-be-Released, THE HUMAN CONTRACT; a Written and Directorial Debut from Jada, Specifically. Will and Jada host various soirees in their home, in Honor of their Friends and Family, much like the extravaganza that was thrown to Honor Queen Latifah in 2003, for her Oscar Nominated role in the Critically acclaimed, CHICAGO.
Being nominated for two Lead Actor Oscars himself, for his coveted roles in ALI as well as the Holiday Fave, PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, Will has managed to successfully transform his career from Grammy winning Rap Star and Television Comedian, to a BlockBuster, $20 Million Dollar per picture, Movie Star. In contrast, Will's financial stability and Hollywood Royal status, has given Jada the opportunity to pursue her various musical ventures, as she performs across country as the lead singer for a Euro-Rock/Rap group, WICKED WISDOM. Jada will reinvent herself on the Major Movie Screen, once again, as she plays a Lesbian character, alongside the likes of Meg Ryan and Annette Benning in the 2008 remake of 'The Women'.
Its obvious that Will and Jada nurture their environment, for both of their children, JADEN and WILLOW, have begun to chew their acting chops; Starring alongside their father in 2006's PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS and 2007's I AM LEGEND. As the result of their initial and rather natural abilities on camera, both Willow and Jaden have follow up projects that are receiving quite a bit of media attention. Jayden will star alongside Jennifer Connely in a November release, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD, as Willow is already basking in the success of her Summer Sin.Sation, KITT KITTREDGE.
Ultimately, the Smith family, in following in the likes of OSSIE and RUBY DEE, are paving a nitche amongst the Hollywood Royals; one to be Beloved, Honored and Respected, by the Black and White communities, at large. I only HOPE that as I continue my journey towards Mainstream Stardom, in the fields of Screenwriting, Directing and Production, that I will someday have the opportunity to work directly alongside Will, Jada and their children. I HOPE that they remain a united pair, for as LONG as they possibly can; for it becomes even more difficult to fight the demons of Fame, Flash and Fortune; as the Lights upon Center Stage become Brighter.
