Lupita Nyong’o lives in a sunny apartment high above the East River in Brooklyn. Black-and-white photos of African wildlife hang on orange accent walls, near a collection of pretty blue pottery. The actress just earned rave reviews for her Broadway debut, in the play Eclipsed. She’s also featured in the biggest movie in theaters now, The Jungle Book. It’s possible you heard about her last little film: Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Nyong’o was born in Mexico City; her Kenyan parents were teaching university there.
