Atkinson recalls role in 'BlacKkKlansman'

On Saturday, the Arkansas Cinema Society is presenting a special screening of Spike Lee's film "BlacKkKlansman" at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. After the movie, there will be a Q&A and discussion with Little Rock native and actor Ashlie Atkinson, who plays the character of Connie Kendrickson, the bubbly and menacingly enthusiastic, racist wife of one of the local white sheet wearers. Her character might be one of the most evil people portrayed on screen in recent years, as she resorts to violence, attempted murder and false accusations in furtherance of a racist agenda.
