Kimberly Guerrero is having a moment
Actor and UCR theater professor Kimberly Guerrero is having a moment, as they say in old Hollywood vernacular. The moment started about six years ago, and it’s gathering momentum.
The latest milestone in her acting career may be the pinnacle to date, in the just-premiered “IT: Welcome to Derry” series on HBO Max.
“I’ve worked more in my 50s, and on very high-profile work, than I ever had. It’s been one project after another,” said Guerrero, a professor in the Department of Theatre, Film, and Digital Production. “I’m on a high right now.”
