Anabella Raye discusses young acting career and role in Long Slow Exhale | Young Entertainment Mag

DISCLAIMER: THIS INTERVIEW WAS CONDUCTED PRIOR TO JULY 13TH BEFORE THE ACTORS WENT ON SAG-AFTRA STRIKE

YEM returns with an exclusive interview with Anabella Raye, who plays Kate Ford, on Long Slow Exhale, an American women’s basketball television drama. The series, created by Pam Veasey, premiered in 2022 for Spectrum Originals and BET. The show follows J.C. Abernathy, played by Rose Rollins, a coach of a women’s college basketball team who finds herself in the middle of a potentially career-ending sexual abuse scandal. Abernathy is forced to make decisions and do everything she can to protect herself, her players, and her career. Anabella is the daughter of Sela Ward, an Emmy Award winning actress.

We asked Anabella about how playing Kate on Long Slow Exhale was different from other roles in the past and she said the intensity of the role was something she really needed to lean into.
