Keke Palmer, real name Lauren Keyana Palmer, was born August 26, 1993 in Harvey, Illinois. At 20 years young, Keke Palmer is the youngest person ever to land a talk show. Just Keke airs on BET. Palmer is more than just a talk show host, before her latest gig, she was an actress, failed singer, dancer and entrepreneur.
In 2006, she played the little girl in Akeelah and the Bee. One year later, on September 18, 2007, the talk show host dropped her debut album, So Uncool, through Atlantic Records. Her album failed to top the charts but did get recognition.
2012 is the year that Keke was working her booty off. She starred in an astonishing four films that year: Joyful Noise, Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom, Ice Age: Continental Drift and Virgin Mary. As for television films, Palmer has also starred in Knights of the South Bronx (2005), and Jump In! (2007). It was Keke's weak performance as Chili in Vh1's TLC biopic that makes me question if she has any talent at all. Just saying.
Back to Keke, she had the lead role in True Jackson, VP, a Nickelodeon sitcom. Surprisingly, she was making stacks as a child! Palmer was compensated with $20,000 for each and every episode she filmed, which makes her the fourth highest-paid child star on TV. And because so many celebrities without fashion degrees or training feel entitled to release a line, Keke's fashion line hit Walmart stores in July 2009.
She has also been cast to play the lead role in Animal. She even wrote and performed the movie's theme song. Animal is scheduled to be released on June 17, 2014. On June 30, 2014, Palmer’s daytime talk show on BET called Just Keke had premiered. She's currently working on a new album. No one can say that Keke isn't ambitious!
Keke grew up in the business. Her parents, Larry and Sharon, met in drama school and are professional actors. After Keke appeared in her first movie, the Palmers backed up and left the East Coast to pursue acting full-time in California. Keke's stage show performance in Chicago put her on the map. She first appeared in Barbershop 2: Back in Business, which was released in 2004.
