Actress Impacts Lives from Pase A1
character makes a connection to
reality," ?he taid." People come
backstage and talk to you; some
even cry," she said.
Jones, 24, who has appeared in
numerous productions, didn't start
acting until she enrolled in college.
She has performed before audiences
all her life, mostly as a musician,
but says she always wanted to be an
actor.
*
"I have always been interested
in theater and film and composing
music for theater," she said. It's a
lot of work, but I love it"
Jones prefers being called an
actor instead of an actress because
she believes an "actor is an actor"
regardless of sex.
"I take pride in that name
(actor)," Jones said. "I work very
hard, and Fm very good at what I
do."
This female performer may not
like being referred to in the femi
nine sense in her work, but she is a
strong advocate foc better portrayals
of women on television and film.
She said most women are not por
trayed as strong females; instead
they have to look beautiful, and
most are not well educated.
"I'd like to own some
sort of theater or produc
Hon company to repre
sent all nationalities. "
"Women are terribly exploited
by film and television/ Jones said.
"They aren't always portrayed as
intelligent people who can make
choices for themselves. Everybody
has to do film and television to
make money, but 1 chose not to take
that route."
Jones also said black women
are usually cast into roles as prosti
tutes, and when blacks are making
love on screen it's presented as
being savage. As a young play
wright whocnjoysSha^pearean
theater, Jones hopes to one day pro
duce plays that will show positive
images of all people.
"I'd like to own some sort of
theater or production company to
represent all nationalities," she said.
"The film industry is very one
sided, and the real story never gets
told."
Jones is a politically-minded
and socially-conscious person, but
said she would rather change peo
ples lives through acting instead of
politics. The actor, when his mind,
body and spirit are totally into the
character, she says, becomes like
the shaman who can uplift the spirit
of the people.
"It's my job to know what's
going on. Sometimes it hurts to find
out what's going on around you,"
she said. "I deal with it as a charac
ter on stage. My destiny in life is to
perform and give life to people."
