ATLANTA � Longtime Atlanta actor Danielle Deadwyler is a woman in demand in Hollywood. Her recent credits include award-winning dramatic turns in the historical biopic “Till� and the film adaptation of August Wilson's “The Piano Lesson,� as well as an FBI agent in the crowd-pleasing Netflix thriller “Carry-On.�
After “Carry-On,� she opted to go a bit more intimate in the horror thriller “The Woman in the Yard," now in theaters.
