Despite the singer to actor thing, and her lacking chops shown thus far.<br /><br />IDK, I've started thinking about all the white actors given a pass Kris Kristofferson, Sinatra, etc... who do this but somehow, black rapper-actors *especially* get a lot of hate.<br /><br />I do understand a lot of that stems from the fact that the industry favors them over those who started out as actors because of name recognizablitity among the black hoard :P...<br /><br />But that's not their fault. They're just playing the game.<br /><br />Personally, I'm getting sick of the biopics about our legendary entertainers. I'd like see some of our other historical stories, like something about the first all-female big band, which was also notable for being mixed, another movie about Gullah-speaking people, Black Canadian settlements, etc...<br /><br />Just something other movies about civil rights, slavery (though I would *kill* to see a Harriet Tubman movie), ex-slavery, or biopics on our entertainers.Ms☆Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976124247199958535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-10955952391119314712010-05-13T18:08:31.037-07:002010-05-13T18:08:31.037-07:00Long live Lena!

Now as for the bio-pic issue, I would actually love to see a film about Miss Horne, provided they can do it right. I don't know who could play her, Alicia Keys resemble's her but isn't quite good enough of an actress yet, maybe Thandie Newton, but she's kinda skinny so I dunno. I actually like Halle Berry as an actress, she's proven that with the right direction she can really deliver, but I have no interest in seeing her play Lena. But, then again, Diana Ross looked nothing like Billie Holiday and she delivered a stellar performance, even if it was in a film that was good, not great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-51167389833748219842010-05-10T11:07:45.303-07:002010-05-10T11:07:45.303-07:00She had more class and dignity in one finger than ...She had more class and dignity in one finger than anyone working today. Truly the end of an era. Back when black entertainers really had respect for themselves and the audience.<br /><br />And PLEASE no movies about her! Alicia Keys? Paula Patton? Forget it!
