BOULDER — It might not have been a complete "15 minutes of fame," but former Colorado tennis standout Carla Manzi and her husband, Richard Johnson, are nevertheless still enjoying their brief volley with the world of the big screen.
The two both make appearances in the critically acclaimed movie "King Richard," the biopic of Richard Williams, whose determination and resilience helped turn his daughters Venus and Serena into two of the greatest women's tennis players in history.
Manzi, who played at CU from 2010 through 2014, appears in the movie's crucial final scene as a pro player warming up on a court adjacent to the one where Venus Williams makes her pro debut against then-top-ranked Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario.
