Stage actress Patina Miller

 Patina Miller is one of Broadway's more recent breakout stars.

Although she's known to many people as Daisy Grant, Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord's press officer in "Madame Secretary," her primary métier is the stage.  She played Deloris Van Cartier in both the West End and Broadway productions of Sister Act, based on the movie of the same name.  Her role in the 2013 Broadway revival of Pippin gained her two awards - an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical and a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical.

 

Ms. Miller has also been in the movies.  She played Commander Paylor in two Hunger Games movies, Mockingjay - Part 1 and Mockingjay - Part 2.  In addition, she has been on other TV series, including thirty episodes of the daytime serial "All My Children" as Pam Henderson.

The COVID pandemic has put Broadway on hold for a long time, but when it comes back, Patina Miller is sure to be one of the stars leading its return.
