Now Robbie Robertson Is Unemployed
All through the sixties and part of the seventies as
I was reading Spiderman comics there was Joesph
"Robbie" Robertson there in the press room of The
Daily Bugle defending Spiderman to an irate boss
John Jonah Jameson who was always cooking up
schemes to unmask the superhero. Now today
When Spiderman has become one of the top money-
making films in Hollywood Robbie Robertson is
currently unemployed. Surely if the setting of Spider-
man is New York city then there has got to be more
African Americans involved in the hero's life. Anyway
read the article about the one Africa American that
does have a speaking role in the film.
Actress Sonya Y. Maddox says she is the only African American actress to have a speaking role in “Spider-Man 3.”
“This was a miracle” said the Atlanta native of her scene with the film’s three stars Tobey Maguire (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane Watson) and James Franco (Harry Osborn/New Goblin).
Three months after her audition, Maddox was informed that she had gotten the part of an ICU nurse in the blockbuster film.
“This was a supernatural experience…A wonder! The awe-inspiring inspiration of God,” Maddox says in a statement to EUR. “I didn’t have an agent, got a direct call from casting to come and audition for the film and forgot about it. Three months later, every aspect of my life, became a challenge… The darkest hour was before dawn… The dichotomy between doing everything right versus the outcome of everything falling apart made me feel as though I was truly wearing the black webbed suit. And I cried out to God!”
Maddox says she even got to provide input on her character to director Sam Raimi.
“He was the most phenomenal director I’ve ever worked with in my life,” says Maddox. “He listened, valued and received my creative input which seemed so small – but my choice in delivering my message was to deliver as an angel. Once I arrived on the set, I asked God to come aboard as the executive producer of this film and guide us all to be on one accord. I made a creative decision that in my role – I would see myself as an angel instead of a nurse in my scene. I felt my other miracle when I found out my scene was connected to the oracle of the film!”
