what are keke palmer's role models and heros?

Answer 1

From the Boston Globe interview, Brandy.
Only 12, she already casts a spell

April 28, 2006

''Akeelah and the Bee," a feel-good film about a young girl competing in the National Spelling Bee, could spell stardom for 12-year-old singer-actress Keke Palmer, previously seen in ''Barbershop 2: Back in Business" and the TV movie ''The Wool Cap." Palmer plays Akeelah Anderson, a seventh-grader from South Los Angeles who overcomes peer pressure and self-doubt to become a word whiz. Written and directed by Doug Atchison and costarring Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne, the film opens nationwide today. Palmer and Atchison chatted with Pop! on their recent swing through Boston.


The coolest part of shooting all those scenes with Laurence Fishburne?

Palmer: Like Dr. Larabee [Fishburne's character], he became my teacher. Only he was teaching me about making movies, not spelling.

Any role models?

Palmer: Brandy, for her singing but even more for her acting. I don't want to be just a kid actor.
