King Richard may be known for his famous daughters, Venus and Serena Williams, but the tennis prodigies are far from the only children the legendary coach has, with some even appearing in his eponymous film. One of Will Smith’s best films to-date, King Richard tells the poignant true story of Richard Williams’ ceaseless desire to see his girls rightfully crowned as tennis stars, facing racism, financial troubles, and familial turmoil all the way. Earning Smith an Oscar for Best Actor in 2022 alongside heaps of critical praise, the film shed light on more than just Venus and Serena.
