If you know Janelle Monae, you know her as a high-energy,
Afro-futuristic musician. Others recognize her as an “easy, breezy,
beautiful” Covergirl. This winter, however, everyone will know her as an
actor as she stars in “Hidden Figures,” which opens in limited release
Christmas Day — on the heels of a supporting turn in Barry Jenkins’
“Moonlight.” The film, which will be her first major role, pinpoints the
secret to America’s success in the space race: a group of black women,
known as “computers,” who served as the brains behind many of NASA’s
early successes. It’s a story, Monae said, that made her emotional when
she first read the script.
