“A lot of what I do is to pay homage to women like Hattie McDaniel because they never got the chance to explore their characters fully.' Danielle Pinnock, from CBS's “Ghosts,' spoke to The Times about carrying the torch:
“A lot of what I do is to pay homage to women like Hattie McDaniel because they never got the chance to explore their characters fully,” says Danielle Pinnock, who stars in the CBS series “Ghosts.”
That creative vision for her “delicious diva,” paired with her comedic timing, was enough to land Pinnock her first series regular role on network television’s second most-watched comedy. It’s a career milestone that is not lost on the 34-year-old Jamaican American actress, who has made it her mission to change how plus-size Black women are portrayed on-screen.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of such Black women as Whoopi Goldberg, Niecy Nash and Issa Rae, who have forged their own paths in the industry, Pinnock turned her dissertation project into a one-woman show called “Body/Courage” for which she interviewed over 300 people from around the world about their body image and staged productions using those insights in New York City and Chicago.
