Tony-winning actress Cynthia Erivo steps into the shoes of the conductor of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman, in Kasi Lemmon’s biopic 'Harriet.'
Tony-winning actress Cynthia Erivo steps into the shoes of the conductor of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman, in Kasi Lemmon’s biopic. But when news of the casting of a British actress over an American was announced last year, it didn't come without some backlash.
With African Americans behind-the-scenes in roles of producers, writers, director, costume designer, production design, composer and hair and makeup, Lemmons explained, "I felt that we were bearing the culture of the Harriet Tubman story beautifully." Lemmons also discussed the process of writing the script for Harriet, spending "seven months of pure research on Harriet and the Underground Railroad," explaining how she felt she was "in conversation" with Tubman.
