At the age of 15, most of us were busy worrying about our chemistry homework, or hoping our crush was going to notice our Hollister tank top in homeroom. Marsai Martin, on the other hand, is busy building an empire. The 15-year-old actress and producer has been making money moves ever since her breakout role as Diane Johnson on Black-ish, from firing her producers that told her to “take a break” to pitching her own damn movie idea to Universal Pictures. That movie is Little, a film that made a cool $5.4 million alone on opening day.
