Sanaa Lathan Biography

During her career as a supporting and leading actor in cinema, television, and stage, the words "talented," "versatile," and "intellectual" have all been used to define Sanaa Lathan appropriately. After moving from the New York theatrical scene to Hollywood, Lathan—a graduate of the esteemed Yale School of Drama—quickly found work in television. In 1998, a small part in the gory comic book adaption "Blade" paved the way for more complex performances in films like "The Wood" and "The Best Man," which are romantic comedy dramas. But, her performance as a hopeful basketball player opposite Omar Epps in the critically acclaimed Sundance hit "Love and Basketball" signaled a breakthrough for the actress. In addition, she appeared in "Out of Time" alongside celebrity Denzel Washington, "In AVP: Alien vs. Predator" as the lead female character, and "In a Raisin in the Sun" as the character she created on stage. Yet, paradoxically, Lathan's labor behind the scenes helped her get one of her most notable roles as the unflappable Donna Tubbs on "The Cleveland Show." Lathan continually delivered an undeniable authenticity and honesty to every performance, regardless of whether she was chosen to star in a high-octane action film or as a member of an ensemble family drama.
