Deborah Lee Fong Plays Lead Role as Part of the Urban World Film Festival Live Screenplay Readings
She gives us an unforgettable portrait of a gifted, sensitive performer, an entertainer whose struggles and triumphs of a prolific career come through in her work.
The narrative of her life's journey, so far, is laced with humor and intelligence, as she confronts the people she's met, the people she's lost, and the people she still hopes to encounter.
Ms. Fong is acerbic and self-aware of her multiple ambitions and the drama that ensues each pursuit. Her refreshing and sophisticated blend of the two genres reflect well on the contemporary woman. Her Panamanian roots and years of experience paint a picture of a truly accomplished and masterful performer.
Renowned Actress and Dancer Deborah Lee Fong recently appeared as Agnes in the production of “Secret Santa” during the Live Screenplay Readings as part of this year’s Urban World Film Festival. The event was presented by BET in partnership with the Writers Guild of America East.
Known for her starring and supporting roles in “Footsteps” and “Footsteps 2” on PBS, the film “You and Your Decisions”, and countless national Theater productions, the energetic bilingual Panamanian American performer has been acting and dancing in theater/television for over 30 years. Versatile and engaging, she can seemingly play any character and also specializes in Salsa and pole dancing. Deborah was thrilled to be involved in this year’s festival as Agnes in “Secret Santa”.
