Lupita Nyong'o: 10 things to know about the '12 Years a Slave' actress
Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o has become one of Hollywood's hottest "It" girls.
By Faith Karimi, CNN
(CNN) -- Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o became the new Hollywood "It Girl" after she played the object of cruel affection in the movie, "12 Years a Slave." Since her role as Patsey in the movie released last year, she's made rounds in fashion magazines, hobnobbed with celebrities and is considered a breakout star.
As the awards season begins, here are 10 things to know about the statuesque actress with a flashy smile and almost flawless fashion sense.
She straddles many worlds: Nyong'o was born in Mexico when her Kenyan parents were in political exile. Her family later returned to Kenya, where she spent most of her childhood. Her first name, she says, is the short version of the word "Guadalupe." She later went to the United States, where she got her undergraduate degree from Hampshire College in Massachusetts, and later graduated from Yale School of Drama in 2012.
She has a connection to Obama: Nyong'o is a Luo, the same tribe as President Barack Obama's father.
She's multilingual: In addition to English and her native Luo, the actress speaks Spanish, Swahili and conversational Italian.
