Samuel L. Jackson: That’s why the actor is so proud of his wife

  • Samuel L. Jackson attended the 2022 Tony Awards with his wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson.
  • They talked about a joint project.
  • It has a special meaning for the couple.

Samuel L. Jackson (73) and his wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson (72) presented an award at the Tony Awards. The actor used the eulogy to honor his wife. She is directing a Broadway remake of August Wilson’s “The Piano Lesson” – “as the first woman,” as the proud husband says, according to the US magazine “People” stressed.

Samuel L. Jackson himself takes on one of the main roles in “The Piano Lesson”. He appeared in the play 32 years ago, but only as an understudy. He is all the more pleased to be returning as the first cast and under the direction of his wife. “We are proud to be reviving one of his profound masterpieces,” he said.

“The Piano Lesson” will premiere on September 19 as part of a preview, the actor announced via Instagram.

That’s the secret of their love

Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson Jackson have known each other since college, have been married for 41 years and have had daughter Zoe (40) since 1982. They revealed the secret of their long marriage in an interview with “People”-Magazin. “We are two people who respect, love and care for each other,” said Samuel L. Jackson.

At the beginning of their relationship, they said to each other: “The most revolutionary thing black people can do is stay together and raise their children with a father and mother.” There would be too many children who only grow up with their mother. “To change that image, we decided to say, ‘We’ll stick together no matter what. We’ll find a solution,'” LaTanya Richardson Jackson said.
