I really like the young woman who plays the sister of the groom (Tunde Adebimpe from TV On The Radio and Jump Tomorrow) in Rachel Getting Married. Her name is Kyrah Julian and director Jonathan Demme first discovered her when he went to New Orleans to make a documentary about those abandoned during Hurricane Katrina. She so impressed him that he went on to cast her in Dancing With Shiva, written by the Jenny Lumet, daughter of Sidney Lumet, which was later retitled Rachel Getting Married.
