Nona Gaye
A native of Washington D.C., Nona Gaye is best known for her acclaimed performance opposite Will Smith as Belinda, Muhammad Ali's second wife in Michael Mann's "Ali" (2001). The result of her feature film debut was rave reviews, and a call from USA Today for a supporting actress Oscar nomination. She appeared on stage for the first time when she was three weeks old with her father, soul legend Marvin Gaye. At six years old her father announced on Soul Train, "She sings quite well." So at the tender age of 14, Gaye cut her first demo and was signed to Atlantic Records at 16. In 1992, she released her first album, "Love for the Future," which received high praise from the music industry.
