Her most recent film, End of the Road, had her coming face to face with Queen Latifah. She’s amazing, says Tabatha.

They wore false lashes and simple makeup consisting of a pink lip and peach undertones. The earrings they chose are cool, minimalistic studs with gold accents.
Music selection
A few days ago I watched End of the Road with one of my favorite actors, Dan Stevens. In it, he plays a heartbreaking character struggling to come to terms with his upbringing and how toxic relationships can shape us into people we never wanted to be. As the film ended, I found myself tearing up and thinking about how much I love this actor for everything he does for his craft. He’s an artist through and through. We all want to be recognized for our work but there are so many times when you are too scared to step out from behind the scenes because it feels safer that way.

Prepping For The Shoot
We knew Tabatha was going to be great, but they were more than what we had bargained for! The energy on set was electric when they stepped up and into character.
