“My greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people,” Zendaya said while accepting her second Emmys trophy in 2022. “I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story with me. I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know I’m so grateful for your stories, and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her.”
As a producer on “Euphoria,” Zendaya was nominated for outstanding drama series and the lead actress award, but “Succession” won. She would have been the youngest executive producer to win if she had done so.
According to reports, Zendaya now joins the ranks of fellow $1-million milestone members, including the lead cast of “Friends” in their final season, the lead cast of “Game of Thrones,” Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon for “Big Little Lies” and Elisabeth Moss on Apple’s “Shining Girls,” to name a few.
Currently, Zendaya is possibly the youngest, highest-paid Black female actor on television.
