Beneatha Young ("Bennie"); young, immature, daughter and sister...full of life and youth.
Bennie is the daughter of Mama, and the sister of Walter. She seems very fresh, young, in her early twenties. Physically, I see her standing 5'6, also very slim like her brother. I see her style as being very young and free. Her easy going spirit and flow makes her very unique.
The actress I choose for Bennie is Zoe Saldana. She is a stunning actress, very versatile. Although she is currently in early thirties, she has a very youthful look about her.
Zoe Saldana
Bennie's character is a young college student. She is interested in everything! She's learning a lot in school, and voices her opinion on everything. She's very outspoken, but also very reserved at times. Zoe will portray her beautifully. She is a very serious actress, as she was in her role in Avatar, playing Neytiri. In the specific role, I wanted her to be portrayed as very young, free spirited gal, sort of like her role in Crossroads, as Kit. Zoe would bring a lot to the characteristics of the other family members. Also, the conversations with George and Joseph will be a little more sassy.
