Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s Oscar Win Is Just the Start: ‘The Roles Will Get Better, The Money Will Improve’


Da'Vine Joy Randolph won the Oscar for “The Holdovers,” which gave the 37-year-old actress the most challenging and rewarding role of her career.

That role paved the way for movies such as “Dolemite Is My Name” and “The Lost City,” in which she deftly stole scenes from veterans Eddie Murphy and Sandra Bullock, as well as the Hulu comedy series “Only Murders in the Building,” which found her sharing the screen with her acting idol, Meryl Streep. When Mary, visiting her pregnant sister, ponders giving away her son’s baby clothes, Payne remembers being astonished by “the look on her face.” Randolph wanted to show her character refusing to break down even as she reflects on that early, hopeful time in her life. Makeup: Sheika Daley/Dayone Studio/Lancome; Hair: Tai Simon/The Only Agency/Joico; Location: Mandarin Oriental Residences, Beverly Hills; Styling: Wayman + Micah/The Only Agency; Dress: Custom Louis Vuitton; earrings: Moussaieff; Watch: Omega; Shoes: Alexander Birman
