Actress Taraji Henson Talks About 'The Family That Preys'

Taraji Henson plays Pam in the new Tyler Perry movie The Family That Preys, which opens this Friday in theaters. Henson's co-star Sanaa Lathan also stopped by the studio to speak about the film.

The movie is two old friends Charlotte Cartwright (Kathy Bates) and Alice Pratt (Alfre Woodard) whose grown children are engaging in a complicated web of adultery and affairs. One of the worse offenders is Alice's daughter Andrea (Lathan), a newlywed who is cheating on her husband with her boss, who happens to also Charlotte's son.

Meanwhile, Andrea's sister Pam (Henson) is happily married to her construction worker husband Ben (Perry). Pam tries to steer her family away from the sordid affairs and back to a more positive direction.

Henson certianly is a well-rounded woman. While a student at Howard University, this Washington, DC native lived a double life. She was a receptionist at the Pentagon by day and was singing and dancing cruise waitress by night.
