You Might Know Her From Dolemite Is My Name, High Fidelity, The United States vs. Billie Holiday, Only Murders in the Building, The Last O.G., the original Broadway production of Ghost: The Musical, and her new movie The Lost City. Da’Vine gave us all the goods on being swept away to the Dominican Republic for The Lost City, filming a big splashy romantic comedy action film with Sandy Bullock and Channing Tatum while being casita neighbors with Brad Pitt. We got the scoop on her extraordinary West End and then Broadway debut for Ghost, the generosity of Eddie Murphy, the depth of Tracy Morgan, what could have been the second season of High Fidelity, and why she’s not interested in movie musicals but will play Pearl Bailey. Da’Vine is going to be a huge star so get into her now so you can say, “I told you so” to all your friends.
