20 Questions, Game 299

[Hominidae]

Anyway, was this person born in Canada or the United States?

If no, my guess is Lupita Nyong'o.

Lupita Nyong’o is correct! Was trying to maybe be tricky with the birthplace (Mexico City) but you got it

I had a list of 22 possibilities, and she just seemed the most likely to be the answer.

I don't have anything special planned for Game 300, but maybe I'll think of something. Either way, it will be up by tomorrow morning (Eastern US).

Well.... that's an interesting target, but really quite obscure....

Is she? She’s been in two really big franchises (Star Wars as a voice, and Black Panther), has a Best Supporting Actress win, was in a fairly big horror movie (Us) and has some decent cultural presence through stuff like frequently being on Vogue covers or a documentary about African history.

Fair.
