Angelica Ross On “Pose,” Authenticity & Being A Trans Woman In Hollywood (Full Interview) | NBC News
she’s stunning!
I met her at a premier I was at. And she is very beautiful. I will always remember her. I'm really proud of her 😊
Beautiful and wise😘😘😘😘😘
Candy was awesome! One of my favourites!
Wow, Transtech social story is such an inspiration!
Learning that Candy was written into the story after he met her makes me appreciate her character even more. She played such a vital roll in all 3 seasons and was heavily tied to almost every character. Love love love this woman.
NOW No Opportunity Wasted
She also played a role in a season of American Horror Story. She was amazing, and I never realized she was trans. Great actress.
I love Candy…
*being Trans. Trans is an adjective NOT A NOUN
Hello guy
I learn so much with every single interview she has done. I LOOOVE her way to clearly communicate reality in a philosophical way. She's absolutely poetic, so mesmerized with her eloquence. 😍
She’s so beautiful and talented 😍😍😍
I would love to see Angelica's audition of Elektra
I just love her!!!!
I am blown away by this interview! I've watched too many actor interviews I'd like to admit to and she is miles ahead in her intelligence and communication skills. Far better than most politicians too lol! I loved listening to all her answers. She is wonderful in Pose & in AHS. Wish I could see her on the stage (from the West coast of Canada)
That's RJ Mitte on Breaking Bad!
I mean CAN she dance though? Every time she entered the stage she'd get draggggggggggged by Pray Tell….it was funny, and I know it WAS acting….but CAN she dance? They never let her do a proper dance. I loved that they kept brining her back after her death (but by then, let her dance already!).
Smart person ❤ !!!
This interview was excellent . She communicated a message in a way that shows nuance. It was not Black or White and gives a depth of understanding to someone as myself that have no real personal exposure with in my life.
Angelica Ross great role in Pose divaaaa 12/29/24
I Love Black Trans Girls ❤❤ Most are So Beautiful and Hot and The Best Lovers 💗💗
I love her so much. Beautiful chocolate sista. Much love Angelica from your transman brother.
