Nominee Profile 2022: Aunjanue Ellis, “King Richard”
Aunjanue Ellis owes her unusual first name to the creativity of her mother, who lived in Bohemian San Francisco where Aunjanue was born in 1969: “It gets mispronounced all the time,” she laughs. Despite her birthplace, Ellis, 52, is deeply rooted in Mississippi, the place where her family is from, and where she still has a house.
