Femi Taylor's Star Wars Journey, Eye-Pop Tips, Gypsy Rose Rises & More!
Nigerian-born British dancer and actress, FEMI TAYLOR is best known for portraying Jabba the Hutt's Twi'lek slave dancer “Oola” in the 1983 motion picture Return of the Jedi, the last film of the original trilogy.
Fourteen years later, she reprised the role filming new scenes for the 1997 Special Edition release, and was the only performer from the original to do so. Because of this part, she appears at science fiction and Star Wars conventions around the world.
Taylor was cast as Tantomile in the 1981 original London production of the musical Cats, during which she learned she had been cast as “Oola” for Return of the Jedi. She appeared in the 1998 TV movie version of Cats as Exotica, a character that was created specially for her and exclusively for the film.
In this episode, we discuss her journey & passion for dance since childhood, being cast as a woman of colour in the 1970’s, pausing her 40-year career to be a wife & mom, what’ she’s up to with the writing of her memoir, and lots more!
