You may not have heard of the beautiful and talented actress Rebecca Knox just yet but it’s time you get to know her. She currently has a role on Netflix’s ‘Orange is The New Black’ where she plays Litchfield’s newest inmate Tina Swope. Aside from acting, Rebecca has always been a businesswoman creating her own record label as well as her own Mezcal company, Doña Sarita. Knox is an East Hampton native where she also helps run her family’s very famous White Sands Beach Hotel in The Hamptons. She’s basically a 25 year old bad ass and would be awesome to speak with.
