Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union is an American model and actress of films and TV series, known for the films From Cradle to Grave, Daddy's Daughter, Think Like a Man, Birth of a Nation. The on-screen romantic comedy star has become a serious advocate for women's rights in life, expressing her views in a memoir titled We're Going to Need More Wine, published in 2017.

Gabrielle Monique Union was born on October 29, 1972 in Omaha to a Catholic family. His father devoted his life to military service, and his mother worked for a telephone company and led voluntary social projects. The girl was brought up in a spirit of independence and a desire for a better life, so the problems with self-esteem that arose in adolescence became an unpleasant surprise for her parents.

In her youth, Gabrielle was very worried about her own appearance, being unlike the long-legged blue-eyed beauties. At school, instead of dating and dancing, the girl went in for sports: she ran cross-country races, played in the football and basketball teams.

At the age of 19, Union was sexually assaulted in the workplace, in a shoe store. The shock and humiliation she experienced left an imprint on her life, forcing, over time, to turn to the topic of violence against women and to defend their rights.

Gabrielle graduated from the University of California with a degree in sociology and began her modeling career. At the agency, the girl was noticed by employees of the film industry, and Union began to appear on screens in cameo roles.

Gabrielle made her debut in Family Matters and then appeared in an episode of the cult Star Trek. The path of an actress in big cinema began with the romantic comedy "It's All She", where the main roles were played by Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook. The film received good reviews and made the girl quite in demand. In 1999, Gabrielle was involved in 5 projects, among which was a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's play titled "10 reasons for my hatred."

In 2000, the actress expanded her filmography with the projects "Clueless", "Odnoklassniki" and other small works on television. Gabrielle's breakthrough was one of the main roles in Bring It On, which secured her a spot in the drama City Angels and the opportunity to play the heroine in the eccentric comedy "Deliver Us from Eve."

Коммерческий успех пришел к Юнион после киноленты «Плохие парни – 2», вышедшей на экраны в 2003 году и закрепивший растущий рейтинг актрисы. Первая награда пришла спустя 2 года после сотрудничества с Мартином Лоуренсом и Уиллом Смитом. Жюри кинофестиваля в Палм Бич вручило Юнион приз «За лучшую женскую роль» в картине «Нео Нед».

В 2007 году режиссер Тайлер Перри пригласил Габриэль сыграть главную героиню в фильме «Папина дочка». Роль адвоката, испытывающего проблемы с романтическими отношениями, была написана специально для Юнион, и она с успехом справилась с этой работой. В 2008 году Габриэль сменила амплуа комедийной актрисы на строгий образ супруги прославленного блюзмена Мадди Уотерса в мюзикле под названием «Кадиллак Рекордс» и назвала эту роль одной из лучших работ в собственной карьере.

На волне успеха Юнион вернулась на телевидение и появилась в сериалах «Жизнь как приговор» и «Армейские жены», ставших довольно популярными среди аудитории кабельных каналов. Она сыграла роль второго плана в фантастическом проекте под названием «Вспомни, что будет» и была номинирована на приз NAACP Image Award.

В 2012 году актриса возобновила сотрудничество с режиссером «Папиной дочки» в его новом фильме «Хорошие поступки», а затем снялась в социальной комедии «Думай как мужчина».

Став популярной, Габриэль начала внимательно относиться к сценариям и выбирала только те проекты, которые подходили ее характеру и натуре. Следуя такому принципу, Юнион согласилась на участие в дебютной работе режиссера Брайана Савельсона «Человеческая природа», которую сочла личным актерским достижением.

Еще одним триумфом Габриэль стала роль в исторической драме «Рождение нации». Образ героини Эстер Паркер, подвергшейся сексуальному насилию, ассоциировался с биографией актрисы, которая в молодости тоже пережила нападение мужчины.

Эта работа заставила Юнион переосмыслить события собственной жизни и приступить к созданию мемуаров, которые вышли под названием «We're Going to Need More Wine» и были удостоены премии журнала «The Root». В автобиографической книге Габриэль размышляла на разнообразные «женские» темы, включая любовь, дружбу, природную сексуальность, брак, внешнюю привлекательность и т.д.

Gabrielle's first husband was national football league player Chris Howard. The young people met in 1999 at a party and after a while entered into a legal marriage. Union, who dreamed of marriage since childhood, admitted that she hastened to formalize official relations. Personal life with Howard was far from ideal and ended in parting, and then in divorce.

In 2009, the actress met basketball player Dwayne Wade, who at the time of their acquaintance had three children. After a 5-year vetting of the relationship, the couple got married in Miami and signed a prenuptial agreement that protected each spouse's personal assets.

In an attempt to have a joint child with Wade, Union suffered several miscarriages and eventually turned to the services of a surrogate mother. At the end of 2018, Gabrielle and Dwayne became the happy parents of baby Kaavia James Union-Wade.

Union is not only a talented actress, but also a very successful business woman. The celebrities own a hair care line called Flawless by Gabrielle Union and a partnership in the Invicta watches company. But now all of Gabrielle's time is devoted to her newborn daughter.

The young mother looks great. In Instagram, in addition to touching photos of the family, Union publishes individual pictures, in which from time to time flickers in a swimsuit.

Gabrielle has no plans to part with the film industry and is currently filming LA's Finest, which will start on television in 2019.
