These Female Icons Are Dominating TV Screens Once Again

Now: Samira Works In A Brothel And Looks Fierce In Red In Handmaid’s Tale

For Orange is the New Black fans who were absolutely gutted when Poussey met an untimely death due to guard violence, Samira was a welcome addition to Hulu’s hit series The Handmaid’s Tale. Samira plays Moira, a handmaid determined to rebel. Eventually, she’s sent to be a prostitute after being caught trying to flee to Canada. Her portrayal of Moira is radical and important. It carefully navigates homosexuality, racial identity, and friendship in a dystopia. Her performance was so powerful she was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
