This year alone, she has five films set for release, including Into the Wild, the indie Canvas and Home, in which she stars opposite her real-life daughter. An Oscar winner for her performance in Pollock, Harden was nominated a second time for her work in Mystic River and was a Tony nominee for her turn in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play, Angels in America.

Floetry
Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart make up the neo soul duo Floetry. The UK-born pair met through their love of basketball. But Ambrosius also had a music hook. Stewart had words. And soon they were booked on the London poetry circuit. They eventually landed in the U.S., writing songs for artists like Michael Jackson and Jill Scott. In 2002, Floetry came from behind the scenes and recorded their debut project, Floetic.
