Jurnee’s filmography is as long as her arm, if not longer! She has worked on films like Eve’s Bayou (1997) , Selma, Lord Selma(1999), The Great Debators (2007) and her television appearances include a stint on the hit US drama Grey’s Anatomy, Hanging with Mr Cooper (1992), Full House (1992-1994), ER (2002) …the list goes on.
Her older co-stars have always helped her with her confidence from a young age, and reminded her to believe in herself and her ability. She has a little village of fans, one being her mother, and the others that help validate her as an actor. She grew up watching Claudine (1974) and she had the opportunity to work with Diahann Carroll, who she looked up to. She hopes one day that she can be a role model for young aspiring actors, she told t5m.
