Born Jan. 15, 1971 and raised in the View Park-Windsor Hills section of Los Angeles, King began her career as a cast member of the 1985-90 NBC comedy "227.'' Her early film appearances included roles in the John Singleton-directed films "Boyz n the Hood,'' "Poetic Justice'' and "Higher Learning.''

Before she was diagnosed with ADHD, Ryan Peete had trouble focusing but wasn't sure why, "I kept beating up on myself and would hate myself for being so spacey all the time," she says. For ADHD Awareness Month, Ryan and her mom, Holly Robinson Peete, told us what they've learned about ADHD since Ryan's diagnosis.

King made her directorial debut for the 2020 film, "One Night in Miami...'' a fictionalized account of the February 1964 meeting of Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke in a room at the Hampton House, celebrating Ali's surprise win over Sonny Liston that made him boxing's world heavyweight champion, with King receiving best director nominations for the Golden Globe Awards and Critics Choice Awards.
