’s New Generation Acting Award, will follow Joe Wright’s “Cyrano” with Whoopi Goldberg-produced “Till,” about the infamous murder of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American boy lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of “offending” white woman Carolyn Bryant. Her husband and his half-brother were acquitted, but later confessed to the murder.
Admitting there weren’t many clues as to who Bryant was, protected by society and kept out of the press, Bennett has turned to dreams – a technique she has been using for the last couple of years. “Usually, you give these kinds of awards to someone who has only done a couple of films. But here I am, and I have done 32. I have been called a ‘breakout star’ for over a decade now. It has always been a failure to launch,” she says with a laugh, adding that being able to live her life privately has been “a blessing and a curse.”
On set, Bennett always has the closest relationship with the cinematographer and then the director. . Now, in “Cyrano,” she plays Roxanne to Peter Dinklage’s Cyrano de Bergerac, reprising their roles from Erica Schmidt’s stage musical.
