Acclaimed Trinidadian actress Lorraine
Toussaint is starring in the new
film about Gloria Steinem’s life, “The
Glorias,” with Julianne Moore.
Moore leads the movie as one
of four actors playing iconic feminist,
journalist and activist, Gloria
Steinem.
The film is based on Steinem’s
book, “My Life on the Road.” Moore
stars as one of the Steinems.
SheKnows said the film is called
“The Glorias” — plural — for a reason:
“There are four Glorias in this
movie, and each one is amazing. So
many Glorias, so little time.”
The youngest Gloria is played by
Ryan Kiera Armstrong; LuLu Wilson
takes over as teen Gloria, and
then Alicia Vikander “brilliantly plays
Steinem for most of her 20s and 30s,”
SheKnows said.
“Finally, Moore takes over as the
icon in her 40s. And a fifth Gloria
appears — in the form of Steinem
herself — at the end of the movie,”
it added. “There’s a bus scene, which
includes five Glorias! Would the real
Gloria Steinem please stand up?”
Toussaint, according to SheKnows,
plays legendary civil rights
advocate, lawyer and feminist Flo Rae
Kennedy, and “commands the screen
the minute she appears.”
The Julie Taymor-directed film
covers the large majority of Steinem’s
journey, from growing up in the
1940s to present day, according to
collider.com.
“And that, of course, includes
