It's no mystery that Hollywood isn't exactly a fruitful terrain for
black actresses looking to expand their portfolios beyond sassy love interest
parts and insufferable Tyler Perry movies. So kudos to the gifted
Kerry Washington for landing a formidable character in ABC's politically
charged, deftly conceived drama Scandal.
At the forefront minute by minute, Washington (who'll soon keep her hot streak going in Quentin Tarantino'sDjango Unchained)
is all imposing presence and commanding energy as a crisis management expert
tasked with keeping staff members inside the White House from monumentally
tarnishing their careers. Easier said than done, of course, but Scandal's
nonstop CNN-serving conflicts afford Washington with plenty of room to show and
prove.
