Empire Cast is Making Big Moves Off the Set

05 Oct, 2016

Since it’s debut in 2015, Empire, Fox’s hit series that creator Lee Daniels likens to a ‘black Dynasty’ has continued to dominate it’s prime Wednesday night time-slot. Now in it’s 3rd season and with no sign of slowing down, the cast is parlaying the show’s fame into lucrative endorsement deals of their own.

Taraji P. Henson

Fans can’t get enough of Empire star Taraji P. Henson whose lead role as Cookie Lyons dominates the show with fiery and quick one-liners and fashion that’s emulated with a line available at Saks Fifth Avenue. Henson will appear in upcoming film Hidden Figures, based on NASA mathematicians Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) who crossed gender and race lines to help launch astronaut John Glenn (Glen Powell) into outer space.

Henson is also giving fans a personal look inside of her life with a memoir entitled “Around the Way Girl” that’s currently available for purchase.
