Recently audiences have seen Tyson in the popular Shonda Rhimes produced TV show, How To Get Away With Murder and in the Netflix’s series House Of Cards.

In the magazine, out on newsstands on October 17th, Tyson said: “At the very beginning of my career, I had a teacher whose name was Vinnette Carroll.

“She directed a number of Broadway shows. She kept saying to me, “You know the problem with beautiful women? They tend to rely on their beauty.”

“And I said, How wrong she is! I never think of myself as being beautiful. I thought, What are you talking about? I work so hard. And I did.

“But I learned from her how important it is to learn your craft. When all else fails, you will land on that.”
