For many movie stars, an Academy Award nomination means being propelled straight to the top in Hollywood. But for Gabourey Sidibe, it was a different story.
The actress starred as ‘Precious’ in the Academy award-winning movie Precious. But what happened afterwards? This is Sidibe, 11 years later.
Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe was born May 6, 1983 in Brooklyn, New York. Her mother, Alice, was a street performer and singer, while her father, Ibnou, worked as a cab driver.
