“Ms. Oracene’s was definitely one of those stories that was told to me through the prism of patriarchy” - Aunjanue Ellis, who stars as Oracene “Brandy” Price, mother of Venus and Serena Williams, in Warner Bros.’ KingRichard
I came to Los Angeles in January of 2020. We rehearsed maybe three to four weeks, and that was a lot of breaking down the script. Will really took the helm with that. I walked in my first day of rehearsal and we were having rehearsals at an office building. This room was just, my God, you could see all of the Valley from the office. On this picture window, Will had colored Post-it notes of every beat in the film. I’m like, OK, I see what world I’m in.
Isha Price, Oracene’s daughter and an executive producer on the movie, provided you with recordings of Oracene where she talked about her life. How did they affect your performance? To be honest with you, I didn’t know if we were going to come back. For a very long time, I didn’t think we would. So, I had kind of let go of thedream. I just said, “You know, it was great while it lasted.” I didn’t think we would be on set again. There were a couple of times when they were saying that we were going to come back, and that didn’t happen. So when that happened, maybe once or twice, I was just like, “Look, I’m going to stop thinking about this.
