Keke Palmer could teach a class on how to stay a rising star for two decades.
At age 29, she's already a seasoned veteran. Since her breakthrough role in 2006's "Akeelah and the Bee," Palmer has become a multihyphenate machine whose endeavors in entertainment span movies, TV, Broadway, music, books, podcasts and the internet (as an unwitting viral star) — the list could go on, and if you know Palmer's drive, it inevitably will. And now her dynamic turn in Jordan Peele's social sci-fi thriller "Nope" has catapulted her to new heights in her journey.
In the film, she plays Emerald Haywood, the exuberant sister of Daniel Kaluuya's more contemplative character, OJ. When the siblings discover a threatening alien presence in the sky, they set out to capture it on camera.
