Alfre Woodard mini-bio: Alfre Woodard is the youngest of three children born to her parents in Oklahoma. She
was named by her godmother, who claimed she saw a vision of Alfre's name written
out in gold letters. A former high school cheerleader and track star, she got the
acting bug after being pursuaded to audition for a school play by a nun at her
school. She went on to study acting at Boston University and enjoyed a brief stint
on Broadway before moving to LA. She got her first break in Remember My Name (1978)
which also starred Jeff Goldblum. She lives in Santa Monica with her husband, writer
Roderick Spencer, and their two adopted children: Mavis and Duncan. She was named
one of the Most Beautiful People in America by People Magazine.
As of September 13, 2003, she now holds the record of being the most honored African
American actress in Primetime Emmy history.
