THE AWARD-WINNING STAR OF THE HOLDOVERS NEVER PLANNED FOR HER BIG BREAKOUT-BUT SHE SURE IS READY FOR IT 

-  JACK SMART

DA'VINE JOY RANDOLPH 'I Set a High Bar for Myself

Da'Vine Joy Randolph is the first to say that acting is "crazy."

"Imagine I'm just meeting you now," she exclaims, her hands fluttering. "We go on-set, and we're supposed to play long-lost lovers. I now have to be in love with you and make everyone believe it, and I just met you five minutes ago." She pauses with the impeccable comedic timing of a pro. "That's insane, right?" Maybe it's because the 37-year-old Pennsylvania native spent her childhood playing the piano and becoming a classically trained opera singer that she can approach acting by embracing its inherent absurdity. Her parents, both educators, worked around the clock to put her in private school and arts camps. "Early on I was made aware that my gift was singing-never, ever crossed over into that other department, the other room down the hall," she says. Then, when Randolph was midway through her undergraduate studies, her mother, Joyce, sensed her acting talent and insisted she switch majors from vocal performance to musical theater.

Operation Epic Fury: What to Know About the U.S. and Israeli Attack on Iran

The skies over Tehran, along with more than 130 cities across Iran, have filled with smoke and echoed with explosions since Feb. 28 as the nation has come under attack from ongoing U.S.-Israeli air strikes. In the opening hours of the bombings, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, and more than 40 senior officials were killed. More than 550 deaths have been reported across the nation—along with six U.S. service members who died in a retaliatory strike in Kuwait—in a campaign that has significantly damaged critical Iranian infrastructure, military bases and air defenses. Two days after the start of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump addressed his objectives in a March 2 speech, saying he wanted to destroy Iran’s missile capabilities, its ability to produce new missiles and its navy, adding, “We’re ensuring that the world’s number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon.” In follow-up comments, Trump did not rule out sending U.S. troops into the country “if necessary,” adding that the campaign, which has spawned retaliatory attacks by Iran in at least nine nations across the Middle East, is projected to last four to five weeks, but could go “far longer.” It remains to be seen if the military operation—described by UN Secretary-General António Guterres as a “grave threat to international peace and security”—will topple the regime or expand into a regional war that could spark a large-scale refugee crisis and global economic disruption due to rising oil prices.
