“My aunt Marcia Cope-Hart was in 'Phantom Of the Opera' in San Francisco for quite a few years when I was growing up, so we would go into the city a lot to see her.”

“I was doing television and films for a good five years, and then I booked 'Cry-Baby.'”

“Dad is in commercial real estate. Mom is a writer and a retired teacher.”

“My aunt, who plays the role of my mother now, she got her Ph.D.”

“I was born in Senegal in 1996. My mom moved to New York when I was two years old, so I was raised by my aunt back home.”

“I was raised by my aunt and we bonded over the eight-o-clock movie on TV. We'd watch everything from James Cagney in 'White Heat' to Lon Chaney in 'The Wolf Man' and every Bogart movie.”
