Willow Smith, daughter of actors Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, works hard. The 11-12 months-previous actress and singer has been on the Hollywood scene for years, first showing with her father in the 2007 blockbuster movie I Am Legend. She shortly adopted up with roles in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl and Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa in 2008. But what made her a family name, and what seemingly gave just a few people neck sprains, was her 2010 hit single “Whip My Hair.”

The release of “Whip My Hair” came after Smith was signed to Roc Nation, rapper Jay-Z’s document label. The only peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot a hundred list.

Jolie admitted to her potential profession change to E! On-line at the Producers Guild Awards, saying, “I nonetheless love performing-if I can discover these roles that matter. But when I do not, it’s nice to be able to shine the highlight on another actress your assume is extremely talented and provides her the spotlight.” Granted she isn’t the primary Hollywood star to consider completely making the change to the director’s chair, but it surely’s strange to think about her behind the scenes reasonably than in them. Plus, last we checked, directing made her cry in the shower, so I am not sure why she’s so drawn to the idea.
