Cynthia talks about her first cinematic obsessions, the musicals that stole her heart, and the tearjerker films that left her sobbing. She also gives us a behind-the-scenes peek at her biggest career highlights—from stepping into Celie’s shoes in “The Colour Purple” to bringing Harriet Tubman’s legacy to life in “Harriet,” and the pure magic of her first day on the set of “Wicked.”
