Keke Palmer Celebrates Her Mother’s ‘One of Them Days’ Cameo: “She’s Taught Me Everything”

Keke Palmer said this week that her mother’s One of Them Days cameo “made me so happy,” celebrating her mom for teaching her “everything I know about my own dang-on brand.”

Palmer stars alongside SZA in One of Them Days, a buddy comedy released last week to positive reviews and strong box office numbers. The two actresses play best friends and roommates struggling to find rent money for a predatory Los Angeles landlord. The film credits Palmer’s mother, Sharon, as an “irate tenant” whom audiences see complaining about her door frame.

“It just made me so happy,” Palmer told People. “Yes, my mom showed up and showed out. She was up in there telling the other landlord to put her door back on. Make sure you look out for that sneak peek of Sharon Palmer, the original.”

The actress went on to say it makes her “so happy to share everything with my mom” because “we’ve been partners since I was a kid.”

Palmer began her career as a child star and said this week that her mother “taught me everything I know about my own dang-on brand. And I just appreciate her. So I think for me, for her to get these opportunities through my growth in this industry, it just feels like it continues to shine that light back on that person she was when she was trying to do music and act and all the things she made a way for me to do. I love that we get to throw it back to her in that way.”

One of Them Days producer Issa Rae, also present for the interview, added of the elder Palmer’s cameo: “She killed that.”
