Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph, 37, trained as an opera singer before her mother urged her to take up acting - as she takes home Best Supporting Actress for The Holdovers after more than a decade in the industry

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 11, 2024
She has been nominated for a Tony Award and had her film debut in the Netflix film Dolemite Is My Name alongside Eddie Murphy. However, Da'Vine Joy Randolph is not a household name. However, the 37-year-old Philadelphia-born actress scooped Best Supporting Actress at the 96th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, so it's likely to change from today. She has been in the industry for more than a decade, but Da'Vine is now officially the toast of Hollywood for her role as grieving cook Mary Lamb in the boarding school drama The Holdovers, in which co-star Paul Giamatti portrays grumpy teacher Paul Hunham. After major awards at the Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globes, BAFTA, and Critics' Choice Awards, the actress, who stunned Oppenheimer's Emily Blunt and Barbie's America Ferrera for her gong, has been unbeatable this awards season.
