Why she hadn't the luck of Angela Bassett or Halle Berry


After her nomination in Secrets and Lies, she had a career, she is in without a trace, but hadn't a movie role that could show her pontential.
She is more talented that most of the colour actress, so why she isn't recognized.

Hillary Rodham 2008 because she is worth less

I agree with you. It is significant to note that Secrets and Lies was her debut role.

In Hollywood, stardom is dicated by physical beauty and not talent in most cases.

I'm tired of her being ignored on WAT. I hope that once the show ends, she will finally be given a great movie role. WAT writers have totally wasted her talent. There is favortism going on in that show...no other logical explanation for it. MJB is not a favorite

Because she is not conventionally "cute" or light skinned enough. The idiots in Holly wood cast, based on ridiculous superficial criteria, instead of honoring the talent ( which she has in buckets full) or doing what is best for the work.Kim kardashian would score a movie role before the extraordinary MJB ever would.


ok, im ready now!
