Singer and actress Shonka Dukureh, who played the role of singer Big Mama Thornton in the latest released film Elvis, has died at the age of 44, officials confirmed on Thursday.
Dukureh portrayed the blues singer Big Mama Thornton in the Elvis Presley biopic, which was released around the world in June.
Dukureh’s performance of the song Hound Dog, which Thornton recorded in 1952, four years before Presley, went viral online after the film was released.
The actor and singer, who also shared the stage at Coachella this year with Doja Cat, had a theatre degree from Fisk University and an education degree from Trevecca Nazarene, radio station WPLN-FM reported.
In an interview with the station last month, Dukureh said she had previously worked as a second grade teacher and worked with inner-city youth through after-school and summer programs.
She said those students reached out after seeing her in Elvis.
