01/02: AFRO Interviews Naturi Naughton (Lil' Kim in "Notorious")
Kam Williams of AFRO has a movie centric interview with Naturi Naughton, who plays Lil' Kim in "Notorious".
KW: How did you prepare to play Lil’ Kim?
NN: I studied her––HARD. I watched her in videos, stage performances, behind the scenes footage and listened to her voice in radio interviews. I also read a lot of material that the director [George Tillman Jr.] gave me about Kim’s back-story. It helped to understand her struggles as a child growing up in Brooklyn. I even went to Brooklyn and spent time in her neighborhood. Talking to the guys from Junior Mafia, especially Lil’ Cease, helped me out a lot, too.
Later in the interview, Naughton shares her hope that Kim will be proud with her portrayal. If
recent reports are to be believed, that isn't likely.
