The commute at Southern Cross Station. ●

My love of superhero films faded when I became too old to appreciate the delightful “kapow” and “blam” kitsch of Adam West’s Batman. But superhero hit movie Black Panther is calling me back to the box office. Comic book nerds’ glasses will fog up when film star Lupita Nyong’o slinks onto the screen, but former US First Lady Michelle Obama’s tweet captures what makes this film an important drawcard: “... it will inspire people of all backgrounds to dig deep and find the courage to be heroes of their own stories.” ●

THIS OSCAR WINNER’S PATH IS FORGED UPON GREAT EXPECTATIONS, WRITES RICHARD ALDHOUS

L

upita Nyong’o has a remarkably confident and upbeat take on life. Growing up in the ambitious home environment of one of Kenya’s most important political families, she was always expected to achieve great things in life. So when she won the best supporting-actress Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, in 2014, and became the first Kenyan actress to do so, it was merely one step towards fulfilling her destiny. Now she’s poised to make her mark as the female lead in the superhero blockbuster, Black Panther, her first venture into the Marvel Comics universe. It’s yet one more accomplishment for the sensationally beautiful Nyong’o and part of her ingrained sense of mission to keep setting the bar higher as an actress and socially engaged citizen of the world.

“I was raised to be confident and determined,” Nyong’o says. “In my family, you were expected to achieve great things. Even though there were times when I worried whether success would come, I always believed that if I worked hard and kept believing in myself that good things would happen to me. Of course, I was hoping to find regular work – I didn’t expect to win an Oscar. But it did give me a tremendous sense of reassurance that it pays to have faith in your abilities.”

Black Panther sees Nyong’o play Nakia, one of the elite group of Wakandan women known as the Dora Milaje assigned to protect King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) aka Black Panther. Together, they defend Wakanda against powerful foes and all all-out battle to prevent their land from being dragged into a potential world war. Nyong’o wears a sexy spandex outfit as part of her superhero debut but defends her character as a feminist “warrior.”

T H E W E E K LY R E V I E W

“She’s an independent, strong woman who is someone young women can look up to,” Nyong’o explains. Black Panther last week surged past $1 billion in takings at the global box office and is one of history’s highest-grossing movies.

The 34-year-old Nyong’o (pronounced en-yong-o) gained attention as a model and cover girl for Vogue, InStyle, Marie Claire and Elle magazines before finally making her acting breakthrough in 12 Years a Slave. Her recent work includes the last two Star Wars films. Nyong’o speaks fluent Spanish from her time growing up as an exile in Mexico City along with her family, whose father is a distinguished former senator in the Kenyan Parliament.

Lupita, this is a very physical role. Was it an added challenge to get ready to play Nakia and take part in a lot of action scenes?

I did some very intensive training and martial-arts work that was necessary to be able to perform all the action scenes. I’d never really put myself through

to not only have great self belief, but also to strive to achieve important things in life.

I have always felt inspired by their teaching and I want to keep aiming to accomplish as much as I can in life.

Did you grow up imagining that you would one day become an actor and achieve accolades and recognition?

I loved make believe. As a young girl I spent countless hours playing with my Barbies and other dolls and I would invent all kinds of stories for them. That was how I allowed my imagination to run wild and sometimes with my aunt I would put on small shows for my parents.

But I didn’t started thinking seriously about acting until I saw The Colour Purple, when I was around the age of eight or nine. It was first time I’d seen someone like me on screen. Whoopi Goldberg had my kind of hair and was dark like me so I thought maybe I could do this for a living.

“We have to have more women presented as strong and forceful individuals.”

– LUPITA NYONG’O A M E S SAG E O F S T R E N G T H \ LU PITA N YO N G ’ O & L E T IT IA W R I G H T

that kind of rigorous physical preparation and I had a lot of fun getting into that. I also loved being part of the bigger spectacle that comes with this kind of movie and I had a lot of fun on the set.

Was it important for you to play this character as a very independent kind of woman who is just as tough and determined as Black Panther?

It’s one of the reasons I wanted to play Nakia. We have to have more women presented as strong and forceful individuals. She also gets to work with other dynamic women who share her spirit and sense of mission. It’s encouraging that we are starting to see more films that present us in a positive and empowering way.

You’ve often spoken about how your parents raised you to be a high achiever. Has this kind of upbringing helped you project yourself in strong female characters like Nakia and others?

My mother and father both believed that it was important for me and my siblings to grow up with great dreams and high ambitions. We were taught

You spent many of your formative years in Mexico when your father and your family were forced into exile. How difficult a time was that for you?

My father was always very concerned about our welfare. He appreciated the dangers that came with fighting for democracy in Kenya and he did whatever he could to protect us.

My father is a man of great principle and he has fought his entire life for justice and doing what is right in the world, even though that fight came with enormous risk. I think when you grow up with that kind of example it teaches you to fight for truth and justice in whatever way you can. He taught me courage and the need to be very fearless when it comes to fighting for justice.

You’ve become known for defending women’s rights and various causes during your career.

Has your father inspired you in this regard?

I believe in using the platform my career has given me to be able to speak out on important issues. I remember hearing my father give many speeches

when he was campaigning in Kenya. He is a very charismatic speaker and, although I’m not at his level, I appreciate the impact you can have when you use your voice to inspire people and generate awareness. I’m very grateful to have those opportunities.

Apart from your acting work, you’ve gained attention with your fashion sense and you’ve appeared on the covers of Vogue and many other fashion magazines ...

I try to have fun with the glamour of it all; getting dressed up for the red carpet, wearing great outfits.

I’ve worked a lot in fashion earlier in my career and I love wearing beautiful clothes when I go to premieres or film festivals. I treat it like a performance in itself and clothes are an interesting way of expressing yourself.

You gained recognition as a model before your acting career took off. Today the media often portray you as something of a fashion icon. Are you comfortable with this perception?

I think of fashion as art and I enjoy being part of that. I don’t think of myself as a fashion icon, though. I simply like being able to dress up the way I remember when I was a little girl watching how my mother would also take great care with her appearance and being very attentive to her clothes.

Does fame ever become a distraction for you or play games with your head in any way?

No. I accept it and I make room for it in my life because the attention gives me the chance to get bigger roles and also to have a bigger voice on behalf of causes I want to support. I see fame as something that parallels my acting career and I’ve grown more comfortable with it over the years.

I know who I am and I don’t allow the celebrity version of myself to affect my true self. They are simply complements to each other and I have no difficulty separating the two or moving back and forth between my private and public selves. Fame is very powerful and you have to be able to handle it and use it to your advantage, but also make sure it doesn’t distract you from your work and your real goals in life.

What lessons have you learnt from your time in Hollywood?

You have to listen to your inner compass and stay true to your vision of where you want to go. I’m always very conscious of what I expect from myself and how you need to be strong and committed to deal with all the obstacles that you meet along your journey.

My father taught me that you must always strive for excellence in life. That’s been my guiding principle and I want to continue in that spirit. ●

Tosca by Tribu

5931 2500 ● jackalopehotels.com

The original, and most famous, non-alcoholic mixed drink (aka mocktail) is the Shirley Temple. It’s a sickly sweet mix of grenadine and ginger ale garnished with a maraschino cherry that was obviously concocted by someone with a disdain for people who don’t drink alcohol. But an increasing amount of drinks-list real estate is being surrendered to interesting, delicious and mature non-alcoholic options.

Rare Hare, the casual bistro component of the Mornington Peninsula’s swanky designer hotel Jackalope, has a couple of good booze-free options on its menu.

Sure it’s located on a winery, but being a modern kind of place in a region outside of Melbourne, it knows all about designated drivers and doesn’t want to punish them twice by having no alternative to mineral water or soft drink.

Rare Hare’s non-alcoholic drinks are named after drinks with alcohol in them, which helps. Sober One Sangria is an elegant, layered drink, based around raspberry and apple juices that are aromatically flavoured with chargrilled orange, smoked paprika, star anise and mint. It plays very nicely with food, like the restaurant’s must-have local eggplant that’s chopped in half and topped with red miso paste before being put into the wood oven. After cooking, it’s garnished with chilli, fresh coriander leaves and furikake.

The eggplant also goes well with Rare Hare’s other ‘no-al’ mixed drink, Soaked Cherry Shiraz – grape juice flavoured with cherries and lemon. ●

Tops for tails It’s like being in a glitzy art hotel in Los Angeles. No expense has been spared with comfy leather bucket chairs, lush carpets and chequered tiles that bend around portholes to the kitchen. It’s here that executive chef Andy Harmer – who’s worked at Vue de Monde, The Point and DOM in Sao Paulo – is upgrading hotel dining.

We start small at Pascale Bar & Grill, at QT Hotel. Cured kingfish dotted with sapphire-blue scampi caviar, green strawberries and honeysuckle flowers on stracciatella. Crab cakes are less impressive than linguine, slick with black truffle and mushroom sauce wearing a wig of dehydrated enoki.

A rare tuna steak is well seasoned, but the crackling component tastes more like oil than pork. Better is West Australian marron, cooked in a pecan-wood-fired Josper and served on chorizo-spiked beurre blanc. Order steaming-hot bread for mopping. Desserts finish strong – sticky apple tarte tatin and fluffy fig souffle with pistachio ice-cream. It’s not cheap and dishes are smallish, but with Harmer at the helm, Melbourne visitors don’t have to leave QT for a taste of the city. ● ● Pascale Bar & Grill at QT Hotel ● Level 1/133 Russell Street, Melbourne

ietitians and food scientists reveal the essential items in their supermarket trolleys, as well as the products they actively avoid.

GRAINY OR SOURDOUGH BREAD \ Bread is a

frequently demonised pantry staple, but experts say it’s just about buying the right type.

“Two slices of grainy bread (the pick of the bunch) provides about 30 grams of long-sustaining carbohydrates, four grams of fibre and a good whack of vitamins and minerals,” says dietitian Joel Feren, aka The Nutrition Guy and spokesman for the Dietitians Association of Australia.

Paediatric dietitian Miriam Raleigh, of Child

RED CAPSICUM \ Green seasonal vegetables and red capsicum are an obvious supermarket staple for boosting any meal’s nutritional value. “[Red capsicum] is a great source of vitamin C, fibre; [it] helps to lower cholesterol and improves the feeling of fullness to reduce overeating,” Raleigh says.

BANANAS \ Stocking up on fresh fruit is another

supermarket no-brainer. But Raleigh nominates

coeliac disease, or gluten intolerance of some form, Feren advises steering clear of products marketed as gluten free; they often contain less nutrition than

natural or contains additives, Raleigh says fruit juice is an item to avoid.

“Anyone who has ever squeezed fresh fruit juice themselves will know how many pieces of fruit it can take to fill a glass … with a minimum of threeto-five pieces of fruit going into an average glass.

“If a child could sit down and consume all threeto-five pieces of fruit … they would be extremely full, whereas when we drink the juice it often feels only a bit more filling than any other fluid.”

CANNED SOUP \ It’s easy to reach for canned

soups when you are time poor or waiting for your next pay, but try making your own at home, in bulk, and freezing for later consumption. “Packet soups have a lot of sodium and artificial additives, which are not good for you,” Moane says. “They use gums and thickeners to give substance rather than meat, vegetables and lentils.” ●

ond of lazing in a deck chair? Extended and renovated in line with modern thinking, this Edwardian house gives prospective owners the thumbs-up to move on in and head straight out the back, where the current owners shift deck chairs from the verandah to the terrace for canopied or open-air respite.

The fundamentals are unchanged since they purchased in 2014. However, by sprucing up the finishes, these youngbloods have given the abode a new, bright and bespoke personality. Born since the purchase, the resident littlie has enjoyed scooting in the hall.

The interior is quiet despite the main-road location.

The straight forward floorplan makes simple sense, and adherence to Edwardian principles delivers on oversized spaces capped by high ceilings. Baltic pine floors sporting a lime-washed finish lend a bleached, beachy feel, with that look complemented by the varied and vibrant colour scheme.

Two cars can park in the paved area out front. Solid in double brick, the house presents a cute, come-hither facade and side-porch entry.

The foyer welcomes with dash courtesy of timeless-grey walls and a chandelier.

All three bedrooms have open fireplaces. To the fore of the foyer, the main has pale grey walls, picture rails and a triple window to the approach. Off the ensuing hall, the second favours fawn hues, and the third woos in sky blue.

A European laundry and separate toilet announce the central bathroom. With chequerboard flooring, whitemarble vanity, white spa bath and glass-screened shower, the bathroom straddles the centuries in chic, fresh style.

A door at the end of the hallway means bedrooms can be shut off from the open-plan living area. Here, a kitchen zone with subway tiles, stainless-steel appliances and granite benchtops segues on to dining and living areas that conclude with two sets of french doors to the rear verandah.

Take the stairs down from the verandah to the backyard, where there’s a small patch of lawn, and neighbouring greenery enhances the scenery.

The location is described as “in easy reach of everything” – Malvern Central, Carlisle and Chapel Street shops, parks, bars and restaurants aren’t far away. ● KAY KEIGHERY property@domain.com.au AGENT \ Gary Peer 9526 1999 PRICE \ $1.3 million – $1.4 million AUCTION \ April 15 at 11.30am
