Kerry Washington Graces Cover of Vanity Fair

For all you Washington journalists who are obsessed with ABC’s “Scandal” this should be of interest. Kerry Washington, the political activist and actress who regularly shows up to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, will appear on the August cover of Vanity Fair.

Contributing Editor David Kamp interviewed Washington extensively for his story. In it, they discuss her upbringing and the phenomenon of her “Scandal” character, Olivia Pope. She tells him, “One of the most profound things for me about the show is the number of white women of all ages who come up to me and say, ‘I want to be Olivia Pope.’”
