Ms. Aduba also appeared in another Netflix production, a movie named Tallulah, about a homeless woman who kidnaps a baby from an irresponsible mother, and in the theatrically released 2016 film adaptation of Philip Roth's novel American Pastoral, directed by and starring Ewan McGregor. She also played Shirley Chisholm, Americans' first black female member of the U.S .House of Representatives, in the Hulu miniseries "Mrs. America," about the influence of the revered and reviled conservative anti-Equal Rights Amendment activist Phyllis Schafly.
