Desreta Jackson: Remember, I was coming here from the West Indies. We were homeless, literally, six months ago on skid row. I had no clue of the entertainment world, what an audition was, it was my first audition. I remember meeting Spielberg; he put the camera up and just kind of went with me. I remember the day leaving Spielberg and by the time we got home, we had a dozen phone calls from agents. That's it. Have you ever wondered whatever happened to Young Celie from 1985's "The Color Purple"? She is Desreta Jackson, which is a name you might not know, however, her performance when she was only 13 years-old goes down in cinematic history. Jackson played the younger version of Adult Celie, a role which earned Whoopi Goldberg her first Oscar nomination. http://www.bet.com/entertainment/DesretaJacksonTheColorPurple.htm Nov 03 10, 2:40 PM
