“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and Cynthia Addai-Robinson is still beaming, far away from the flashing lights and star wattage of the lavish bash held at Culver Studios.
She’s even gushing about the fact that she somehow managed to miss seeing one A-list attendee.“The day after, you see some of the photos from the carpet, and I was like, ‘How did I miss Michael B.
Jordan?
