‘King Richard’ depicts the incredible journey to stardom of the Williams family. Both Richard Williams and Oracene Price made huge contributions in making the young girls the legends they are today. Recently, Aunjanue Ellis expressed her feelings of getting into the character of Oracene.

According to Ellis, their mother deserved a special mention in their lives. She said, “That if Mr. Richard was an architect of that dream, then Miss Oracene was a builder of that dream. And see the difference is that an architect can draw a sketch and he leaves, right? But the builders are there every day.”

Aunjanue Ellis got emotional talking about Oracene Price

Furthermore, Aunjanue also mentioned about the motherhood of Oracene Price. In her words, she said, “She was sewing their outfits. She was doing their hair. She was cooking, cleaning, and I cannot say enough about this woman that no one knows.”

“And so, I’m so excited that people always see her in the stands. I’m getting a little emotional, I’m sorry. People see her in the stands, and they see her clapping for her daughters. But now, hopefully, with the film, people will see the flowers that she deserves,” Ellis added.

While everyone is praising Richard Williams, Oracene Price was also one of the key pillars in the lives of Venus and Serena Williams. Her contribution and support is truly admirable and as Ellis said, she should get the flowers she deserves.
