Nicole Beharie

Nicole Beharie was born in West Palm Beach, Florida. As she came from a well-off family, Nicole Beharie has a clear shot in the future.  She earned her bachelor’s degree from the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts & Humanities and was a student at Julliard School. She was also given a Shakespeare scholarship and was trained in England. Her acting debut was in the 2008 film American Violet, and two years later, she was cast as Shay in Sins of the Mother.

She also has a recurring role in The Good Wife, playing the role of Imani Stonehouse, and had an appearance in the hit TV show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Beharie was awarded an African-American Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress, a Teen Choice Award, and three Image Awards. Like any other stars, she also experienced a downfall in her career in 2016 as she just managed to pick up small roles from time to time. Thankfully, she made her comeback in 2020 when she starred in the movie Miss Juneteenth.
