The Haves and the Have Nots has been dominating prime time television every Tuesday night. Well, we got the chance to catch up with one of the lead actresses, Crystal Fox (@only1crystalfox)! She plays the role of humble maid Hanna Young who relies on her faith in God to comfort her through all of life’s tribulations!
Fox tells us that playing Hanna is the “role of a lifetime” and that working closely with Tyler Perry and Oprah is absolutely amazing. While she has two very big mogul bosses, Fox opened up about her difficulty with finding work as a black actress–even though she’s been acting for 36 years. “I’m on the #1 show in cable and I have what is considered a lead role on this show with Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey as my bosses,” she began, “…and I was sent on [one or two auditions] in the four years we have been working.”
Regardless , Fox has continued working and has friends like Viola Davis to thank for keeping her encouraged along the way. The actress revealed to us that they are best friends and that she recently sang at Davis’s vow renewal!
Check out our interview with her below in order to find out why she feels that Viola will win an Oscar this year!
