| | USATODAY.com - Warren, from rags to 'Ray' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | Raised in Tuskegee, Ala., Warren, one of four daughters, says acting in her hometown was considered a "frivolous waste of time." Her mother, an education administrator, and father, sheriff of Macon County, never understood and refused to support their daughter's passion. |
 | | In Atlanta in August 2002, Warren stopped by a hotel to reserve a room for her parents, who were coming to town to see her perform in a play. |
 | | Seizing the opportunity, Warren, at the time sporting a "huge afro" and dressed in jeans and flip-flops, ran to grab a photocopy of her headshot, then signed in with the casting director. |
