Malinda Williams flicks it up for Rolling Out magazine and talks longevity in Hollyweird Malinda Williams Covers Rolling Out Magazine Brown-skinned beauty Malinda Williams has been in Hollyweird for quite some time now and she recently sat down with Rolling Out magazine for a stylish photo shoot and a little conversation. via Rolling Out How do you maintain your longevity in the entertainment industry? I definitely feel I have been blessed with a charmed life. One of my advantages I think I have is I have a “youthful” look, so that’s great and adds to my longevity. I played a teenager for a very long time, a young lady for a very long time. It lengthens the time span of playing different roles. I like to choose roles and create a résumé that affects an audience in an emotional way. The saying goes “People will forget what you said to them but they will never forget how you made them feel.” It’s always been about how I make [the audience] feel. In addition to spilling the beans on her secret to staying in the limelight, Malinda also opened up about how she’s stayed fly over the years. Top five beauty products you use? I actually have in my kitchen — above the dishes, plates, the cups and wine glasses — a section for all my hair products [laughs]. For my face, I always like to mix a moisturizer with essential oils. I love Bobbi Brown [products], but I will shop at Walmart in a heartbeat and pick up lipstick I think is fabulous. If it’s good, it’s good. The cheaper the better … [laughs]. How do you stay in shape? Well, I am blessed with good genes and don’t have to work out all the time. I have a grandfather who is 103 years old and still is walking on his own. We have good genes and we “grilled” my grandfather on what he eats [to stay so healthy]. He eats lots of prunes and yams — at least a yam a day. You will still see me at a drive-thru at McDonald’s ordering a cheeseburger with some fries [laughs]. Well, whatever she’s doing is obviously working, riiiigght? Check out a few more pics from her photo shoot on the flip.
