To do so, the siblings must put aside their conflicting demeanors and get help from electronics store employee Angel Torres (Brandon Perea) and cameraman Antlers Holst (Michael Wincott). The horror flick follows the duo as they attempt to capture evidence - and monetize on their discovery - of a mysterious flying object that has terrorized their family horse ranch. Palmer plays the spunky and enterprising Emerald Haywood, the inquisitive sister to Daniel Kaluuya’s more silent and serious character, OJ, in the latest movie written, directed and co-produced by “Get Out” filmmaker Jordan Peele. Whether on set or online, Palmer’s persona is infectious, as seen in her performance in “Nope,” which has been met with glowing reviews and gleeful anticipation. And the Emmy-winning actress saying “Sorry to this man” when she didn’t recognize a picture of former vice president Dick Cheney during a 2019 lie detector test with Vanity Fair has become a social media meme staple. A sound bite of her greeting Megan Thee Stallion at last year’s Met Gala - where Palmer was hosting red carpet coverage for Vogue - became the backdrop of a trendy TikTok melody.
Her likability has also made her particularly ubiquitous on the internet. At 20 years old, she became the youngest talk-show host in television history with the premiere of “Just Keke.” Since her big break as Queen Latifah’s niece in the 2004 comedy film “Barbershop 2: Back in Business,” Palmer, 28, has captivated audiences in movies, on television shows, through albums and EPs, and with live musical performances. On-screen, Palmer has committed to rediscovering herself over and over as she continues her chameleon-like streak through the business. In her new film, “Nope,” she takes on the role of a Hollywood horse trainer confronting potentially deadly invaders. It makes sense: In two decades in Hollywood, she’s played everything including a spelling bee champion, a stripper, an enslaved woman and the first Black Cinderella on Broadway.
