On Tuesday, February 21, 2006, child star China Anderson, who plays the role of “Nima” in her second feature film “Madea’s Family Reunion” directed by Tyler Perry, arrived on the red carpet escorted by her sister Gabrielle Anderson, ready to meet and greet the fans, the press and the paparazzi before joining cast members Tyler Perry, Lisa Arrindell Anderson, Rochelle Aytes, Boris Kodjoe, Jennifer Lewis, Tangi Miller, Keke Palmer, Henry Simmons, Cicely Tyson, Blair Underwood and Lynn Whitfield inside the Cinerama Dome at The Archlight Cinemas for the Hollywood, California premiere of the film.  This highly anticipated comedy/drama hit theatres nationwide on Friday, February 24, 2006.  As of this release, “Madea’s Family Reunion” is the No. 1 movie in America.

China Anderson (age 6), began her entertainment career just two years ago when she entered and won a model search runway competition back home in Atlanta, Georgia.  Once discovered, she quickly won over casting directors and film directors coast to coast, which lead to her landing a “leading role” on her first audition at age 5, this “principal role” on her second audition and modeling assignments.  China Anderson is the younger sister of Gabrielle Anderson (age 12), an actor, singer, and dancer who also appears in “Madea’s Family Reunion.”  China and Gabrielle are relatives of local Houma, Louisiana residents Julia Richardson (Grandmother) and Terry Richardson (Aunt).

Later this year, China Anderson’s first feature film “Idlewild” directed by Bryan Barber, will be released in theatres.  In this film, she plays the role of “Beulie Mae” along side the members of the rap group “Outkast” and her sister Gabrielle Anderson.
