Samira Wiley
The stunningly talented and gorgeous Samira Wiley captivated us on “Orange is the New Black” as sweet, intelligent, androgynous Poussey Washington, but that was before she was killed by a prison guard, a moment many fans have likely still not recovered from. Following “Orange,” Wiley played Justine in the FXX comedy series “You’re the Worst” and can currently be seen as Moira in Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.” In March, Wiley married Lauren Morelli, the “OITNB” writer who wrote Poussey’s death episode. In a sign of the times, their wedding was covered in Martha Stewart Weddings and the picture liked—as of this writing—over 425,000 times after Wiley re-posted it on her Instagram. Post-wedding, Wiley is making married life work. She tells People her new wife “loves coffee, so I try to make coffee for her—but now she has an espresso machine! And I have zero idea how it works, so I’ve got to work on that.” Master barista or otherwise, Wiley has certainly boomed in the last year, and with good reason.—GH
