'King Richard,' the Oscar-nominated film, authentically depicts the Williams' history
King Richard is nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture. Will Smith, Isha Price, and Aunjanue Ellis explain how faith motivated the Williams' family.
King Richard is up for Best Picture and five other categories at this year's Academy Awards. It's the story of tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams and their family. To give their stamp of approval to the production, Isha Price, one of the three older sisters, was on set every day to make sure the filmmakers told their story authentically.
"We've been approached different times about doing a movie, and it never seemed to be right because the story's still being written," Price says. "This script was different."
Price says her family appreciated how the film, five Wimbledon championships and four Olympic gold medals. And long before her little sister Serena won of her own, seven Wimbledon championships and four Olympic gold medals.
