An Academy Award\u2013winning actor, she has starred in <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/3051693\/zoe-saldana-guardians-of-the-galaxy-space\/\" title=\"undefined\" target=\"undefined\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">films<\/a> that together have grossed more than those of any other actor in history, male or female. She is known to many by her vivid, non-human characters: the surly, deadpan Gamora and the ferocious warrior-mother Neytiri. To those close to her, she is the most gracious, loyal, loving, and fiercely protective mother, wife, friend, and all-around incredible human being we know. Through her roles in Star Trek, Emilia P\u00e9rez, and others, she celebrates her Afro-Latina roots with fierce pride and courageous dignity. She can shape-shift before our eyes from heartbreaking vulnerability to the strongest icon of female badassery ever seen. In her work and in life, Zoe moves through the world with grace and beauty, elevating all of us whom she touches. She is one of one in the universe, and I am grateful every day to be among her creative partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So &#8230; How to describe the phenomenon that is Zoe Salda\u00f1a?
