*Who would have thunk the beautiful Sanaa Lathan was a day laborer before she made it big time. She told Black Enterprise that she did house cleaning before she became an actress. She said she had no shame in her game.
“I was a maid,” she proudly admitted. “My grandmother had an older man friend that lived in the building with us, and I would go over and clean his apartment when I was 13-years-old. He would give me like $30.”
“I was trying to make that cash,” she continued. “I didn’t have a problem with it. I think that there’s no shame in making a living, and getting money by honest means. So I would just say, do what you have to do, but do it honestly. Go after your dream, but there’s nothing wrong with making money with a regular job.”
Now she’s sort of returning to her roots and will be playing the role of a maid in the Broadway play, “By the Way, Meet Vera Stark.”
Watch as Sanaa talks about doing maid work before her acting career:

She can be my maid… Anytime son!
I like Sanaa and her acting is very good but, why? is her being a maid in the past a story now??
Your answer is in the last line of the story, as weak as it is. She’s playing a maid in her latest project. I guess the interviewer asked her about how she was able to get into character, with her fine self.
they act like she went from being a maid to acting…..she did the cleaning when she was 13 SHEESH!!
This is HILARIOUS. Her dad is STAN LATHUM who directed Sanford and Son, Barney Miller and the list goes on. This is mad to sound like she had to “hustle” for a dollar. Gimme a break, she grew up “privileged”
