Nico Parker, the talented 19-year-old daughter of actress Thandiwe Newton, has taken on her first major leading role in the recent Sundance Film Festival hit, Suncoast. Despite initial doubts about carrying a challenging narrative and captivating an audience, Parker found the support and guidance she needed from her mother and father.
In Suncoast, Parker portrays Doris, a teenage girl dealing with her sick brother's move to the same Florida hospice center as Terri Schiavo, who garnered international attention in 2005. The film features seasoned actors such as Laura Linney and Woody Harrelson in supporting roles.
