Biografia

She is the first African-American woman to direct a film selected for the Venice Film Festival.

Both she and her sister Reina King's first names are translations of the word "Queen": Regina's is Latin and Reina King's is Spanish. So that means that both sisters are essentially named "Queen King.".

She studied under acting coach/actress Betty A. Bridges, mother of actor Todd Bridges. She was Regina's acting coach for ten years before and during her first role on the TV series 227 (1985).

Along with Marcia Gay Harden, one of two actresses to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, without having earned a SAG Nomination since the award's inception in 1995.

Her favourite movie is I ragazzi vincenti (1993).

We know that's the bottom line: if money is made, the powers that be pay attention.

I've tried to be flexible in my career by doing a little bit of everything and that's worked for me.

It's funny that until I actually met my husband, I never thought I'd get married.

There's a difference between actresses of color and actresses not of color. If you look at how big my movies are.

People love to see themselves on screen in a way that makes sense and seems on point.
