Actress Kerry Washington also reveals in her new memoir that not knowing contributed to her anxiety and eating disorder.
Actress Kerry Washington is preparing to release her most personal project yet: her memoir “Thicker Than Water,” set to hit stores Tuesday. In the book, Washington dives deeply into personal topics including the revelation that her dad is not her biological father — a fact that she only found out recently.
Washington’s parents finally told her the truth ahead of her appearance on Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s PBS series “Finding Your Roots.” After Washington’s mom and dad approached Gates with this information, he encouraged Valerie and Earl to come clean with their daughter.
