Jaime Foxx’s daughter, Corrine Foxx, has just been named one of the highest honors that the children of successful actors, like Jaime Foxx, can earn in the movie industry. She was just named Miss Golden Globe 2016, which is an honor that is only awarded to one well established actor’s child every year. It is based on the accolades that their actor parent has accomplished first and secondly it is based on what aspirations the actual child is pursuing on their own.

Jamie won a 2004 Bet Actor Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the film Ray. Twelve years later, his daughter will officially be selected as Miss Golden Globe 2016.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) made the announcement on Tuesday night (11-17-15) at their party at Ysabel in West Hollywood and Corrine said this about being selected:

‘Throughout the years I’ve grown up watching my dad establish himself as a well-respected actor,’ she said. 

‘I’m honored that HFPA has given me the opportunity to now share the same stage where he’s been recognized for some of his greatest accomplishments.’

Corrine is a model and has kicked off her modeling career in a major by becoming one of the models for the accessories line, Icing. The President of HFPA, Lorenzo Soria said this about Corrine and her new modeling career: “We are delighted to have Corinne Foxx continue the tradition and have her as our 2016 Miss Golden Globe. Like her father, she leads a fine example of following her dreams and we can’t wait to see what she does next.”

Corrine is now 20 years old and she is a senior at the University of Southern California. As Mis golden Globe 2016 she will be joining the likes of previously selected children of well known actors like Bruce Willis’ daughter, Kelsey Grammer’s daughter, Kevin Beacon’s daughter, and Clint Eastwood’s daughter. So in other words, Jaime Foxx’s daughter will be adding some long overdue diversity to that Golden Globe lineup. Go ‘head Corrine!
