Actress Zoe Saldana apologized for appearing in the trainwreck that was the 2016 Nina Simone biopic Nina, in which she wore a prosthetic nose and makeup to make her skin appear darker.
“I should have never played Nina,” Saldana said in an interview with Pose creator Steven Canals, for the site Bese. “I should have done everything in my power with the leverage that I had 10 years ago… to cast a Black woman to play an exceptionally perfect Black woman.”
