“Power” leading stars Naturi Naughton ex 3LW member and Lela Loren on the new UPSCALE magazine cover.The season 3 premiere of the hit STARZ series that’s set to debut July 17th.
Below are a few highlights from the cover story:
On how they nabbed their roles:
Naturi: “One minute I thought I wouldn’t get this job, mainly because in casting, they thought I would read young opposite Omari. I got a callback a month and a half later and went through about three or four auditions total. I left it all on the floor in my last audition and got a call the next day saying I got the job of Mrs. St. Patrick.”Lela: “After my first audition, I will never forget Courtney kicking everybody out of the room, turning to me and saying, ‘Okay, I think you’re f***ing great.’ I had heard so many nos up to then that I didn’t even know how to absorb it.”On how the word “power” relates to both the show and their personal lives:Naturi: “Power is seeing, believing and loving all that is you, your life and your existence. It’s a marriage of strength, fearlessness and success. It’s looking at yourself and being pretty damned okay with what you see.”Lela: “I don’t know if there is a succinct definition. I certainly don’t have one. Something about the word ‘power’ feels isolating and greedy. I find myself shunning the idea of it. At best, power is simply a byproduct, harnessed energy; the power of love, the power of teamwork, etc. Pursuing it on its own, well, my best definition of it is, a black hole.”
