Silver screen stunner Kerry Washington covers the December issues of LA Times Magazine and Elle Magazine.

She’s the first African-American woman to headline a major network drama since 1974. Her show, ABC’s sexy political thriller Scandal,
averaged 9.1 million viewers in its first season and is well into a
nail-biting second.
Washington easily could have gone for the power-bitch trope, but she’s

feel safe and comfortable.” (Such all-woman wardrobe choices also help
fuel the will-they-or-won’t-they—oh, wait, they already did—sexual
tension between Olivia and the married POTUS, played by Tony Goldwyn.)
And to add to the windfall, Quentin Tarantino chose
her as the female lead in this month’s spaghetti-westernized view of the
antebellum South, Django Unchained.
