Candice Patton

Candice Patton is an American television actress who won the 2017 Saturn Awards. Best known for her role as Iris West, the superhero's lover The Flash.

Candice Christina Patton was born on June 24, 1988 in Jackson, Mississippi, into a blended family: her mother is white and her father is black. By the time of her marriage to Candice's father, Arianna Jackson, the girl's mother, already had a son. Adrian, the elder brother of the actress, later tied fate with the theater.

Mom Candice is an opera singer by profession, who has repeatedly played on stage in musical dramas. My father, being an engineer by profession, was a very musical and artistic person. The man met his future wife during one of her performances.

5 years after the birth of Candice, the parents' relationship soured and they divorced. Nevertheless, the mother did not forbid the girl to communicate with her father, and the actress still has a wonderful relationship with him.

After the divorce, Arianna took the children to Texas, where they grew up in the city of Pleino. There, Candice graduated from Plaino East High School, during her studies in which she became interested in acting. The girl performed in local TV shows, played in Texas theaters, and even appeared in Shakespearean plays - in 2002 she played a role in the production of Titus Andronicus.

After high school, Patton entered Southern Methodist University, from which she subsequently graduated with a BA in Arts.

For the first time on the screens, Candice appeared in 2004. Then Patton participated in the nationwide Soap Star Screen Test, which aims to find young actors for the series. The result was an invitation to the girl to appear in the popular soap opera The Young and the Restless, where Patton appeared in 5 episodes.

After that, Candice can be seen in supporting roles in the series “The Bold and the Beautiful”, “Sorority Forever”, “Grey's Anatomy”, “One Tree Hill” and other popular serials. Sometimes Patton appeared as one-off characters, sometimes she was a guest actress for several episodes.

В самом начале своей актерской биографии девушка, чтобы обеспечить себя, не пренебрегала и стандартными для многих начинающих актеров подработками. Несколько дней она была официанткой в ресторане «Bubba Gump», но ушла оттуда после того, как поняла, что вместо ролей приходится запоминать виды креветок в меню.

После этого год девушка работала в «Pink Berry», но в итоге решила полностью сосредоточиться на актерской работе.

В 2009 году актриса впервые появилась в супергеройском проекте, сыграв Оливию в 2 эпизодах сериала «Герои».

Прорывом в карьере девушки стало приглашение на роль Айрис Уэст, девушки, а затем и жены Барри Аллена, второго Флэша. Этого персонажа Кэндис сыграла в нескольких супергеройских сериалах: «Супергерл», «Стрела», «Легенды завтрашнего дня» и «Флэш». Причем в первых трех Айрис появлялась однократно, а вот в сериале, посвященном непосредственно сверхскоростному супергерою, Кэндис вошла в основной актерский состав.

Выбор актрисы на роль стал продолжением западной тенденции пренебрегать канонами первоисточника в пользу всеобщего равенства: в комиксах Айрис изображена светлокожей шатенкой.

Впрочем, эту работу Кэндис получила отнюдь не из-за толерантности и даже не с первого раза. На роль Айрис рассматривались также Кеке Палмер и Сиара Рене, а сама Паттон первое прослушивание и вовсе провалила. Во время проб у нее была строчка, в которой упоминалось имя Ченнинга Татума, которое Кэндис благополучно забыла.

Зато на втором прослушивании девушка блеснула, сумев рассмешить Гранта Гастина, исполнителя главной роли. Режиссеры поняли, что это та самая «химия» между персонажами, которая необходима для появления в образе романтической пары, и роль Айрис осталась за Паттон. Причем актриса впоследствии честно признавалась, что комиксов в детстве не читала, а больше увлекалась кино и мультфильмами.

Flash's beloved became the character that brought Candace her first official award: in 2017, for her role as Iris West, she received the prestigious Saturn Award in the category "Best 2D Actress in Television".

The actress adheres to feminist views and defends the rights of women. In 2017, Candice participated in the Shethority project, a virtual space that brings women together. The aim of this online platform is to empower women to share stories, support each other and stand up for their rights.

Patton herself says that women who hate each other are the last thing modern television needs.

The celebrity, in addition to talent, has a non-standard, eye-catching appearance and a wonderful figure: with a height of 163 cm, the weight of the actress is 57 kg. Thanks to this, she boldly poses in a swimsuit, in 2015 Candice took the 61st place in the list of 100 hottest girls according to the magazine "Maxim".

But little is known about Patton's personal life. The actress does not have a husband, but she does not show off other details. At one time, rumors circulated on the Internet about Candace's romance with Rick Cosnett, her partner on the set of The Flash, but there was no confirmation.

In his blog on Instagram, Patton regularly uploads new photos, both from everyday life and from professional photo shoots. The actress regularly presents shots with a little swarthy girl named Harley Christina. Fans of the actress are wondering if she is Candice's daughter. However, Candice has no children, and she is related to Harley Christina by family ties - the girl is the actress's niece.

Now Candice is completely immersed in the shooting of "The Flash" and, as of 2018, this project remains the only one in the actress's filmography: the busy schedule of work in a successful and sought-after series leaves no time for other work.
