Born as a theatrical performer in the nineties, Kimberly Hébert Gregory later conquered film and television with a versatile career.

Beloved Face of the Small Screen
In 2016, she achieved popularity with Vice Principals, where she starred alongside Walton Goggins (image above) and Danny McBride as the school principal. Goggins himself remembered her as “one of the best I’ve ever worked with, an impeccable professional, a soprano voice that never hit a wrong note.”
In subsequent years, Gregory appeared in Kevin (Probably) Saves the World and the animated series Craig of the Creek. Her last role was as Ruth Jean Baskerville Brown in Genius: Aretha for National Geographic, a performance that once again confirmed her extraordinary artistic sensibility.
