Laila Odom, an explosive blast of talent, brains and beauty, is ready to slowly but surely change the game for black women in Hollywood. Having graduated from Rutgers University with a BFA in Modern Dance, Odom was raised by a single mother in NYC, whom she says “encouraged me to dream big and let my spirit and imagination soar.” Odom’s been preparing for her big break since the third grade, and she is hitting Hollywood with a double whammy this season, playing the sexy lifeguard on Fox’s Hole in the Wall as well as the hot comedienne Ana Marie on the Cinemax hit, Zane’s Sex Chronicles.
