"Westworld" star Thandie Newton said she will now go by Thandiwe Newton, her birth name, after the name was misspelled on her first film role.
From here on out, the star will go by Thandiwe, she revealed in a new interview with British Vogue. Newton began to drop the "W" from her name when she was in school in an effort to minimize the discrimination against her as a young Black girl.More Related News
