The Outer Banks cast and crew are honoring Carroll Sutton's legacy in season two. The actress, who played Pope's meemaw in the sophomore season, died in December 2020 at age 76 due to COVID-19 complications. The Netflix series was one of her last projects before her death, which is why the show pays her tribute with an in memoriam message at the end of season two's sixth episode titled "My Druthers."
Viewers meet Pope's (played by Jonathan Daviss) meemaw when he goes to her assisted living facility to learn more about their family's history. Although Sutton only appears in one episode, her character makes an impact and helps piece together an essential season two storyline. Prior to her cameo on Outer Banks, Sutton appeared in TV shows like Queen Sugar, Claws, and Treme. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said, "Carol Sutton was practically the Queen of New Orleans theater, having graced the stages across the city for decades." In addition to her on-screen roles, Sutton also took on parts in 4000 Miles and A Raisin in the Sun. Sutton's memory lives on in the over 100 impactful TV, film, and theater projects she contributed to over the course of her career.
OK, we need Hailey Kilgore to put out an album ASAP! Viewers got a taste of Kilgore's vocal prowess in episode two of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, in which she plays Jukebox, and we want more. Of course, the 22-year-old is no stranger to singing as she's been doing so since she was a little girl, showing off her vocal chops on Broadway and social media.
"I don't remember ever thinking that music wasn't going to be a part of my life forever, but I never thought I'd be the girl whose face is on every bus and Playbill," Kilgore told Interview magazine in 2018. "My mom says that I sang before I could even talk. I think I just thought singing was a part of being . . . . So then I started pursuing music. Around my freshman year of high school, I turned to theater and plays and musicals. I don't think I could see myself doing anything else." Hopefully, we'll get to hear more of Kilgore's amazing singing voice on Power Book III: Raising Kanan, but in the meantime, watch some of her best singing videos ahead.
