She later played the role of Amelia Boynton Robinson in the 2014 historical drama film Selma, directed by Ava DuVernay.

Early life

Toussaint was born in Trinidad and Tobago. In an interview she said: "I grew up under the British system, which I think is horrific for children -- very, very strict -- a system that did not recognize children as being individuals. You were small animals earning the right to be human. Childhood for me then felt extraordinarily powerless, and as an artistic child who learned in alternative ways, it was hell. I was beaten regularly... A good child was a fearful child, and I was a very, very, good child, which meant I lived in a world of silent, dark terror most of the time."[1] Her mother was a teacher, and brought Toussaint to live in Brooklyn in the late 1960s.[2]

Toussaint graduated from Manhattan's High School of Performing Arts in 1978.[3] She then attended the Juilliard School's drama division as a member of Group 11 (1978–1982),[4] where her classmates in 1982 included Megan Gallagher, Penny Johnson Jerald, Jack Kenny, and Jack Stehlin.[5] Toussaint graduated from Juilliard with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.[3] She then began her career as Shakespearean actress before tackling screen acting in television and film.[6]
