I was actually in a meeting for an scripted show I was producing, and her name came up and one of the execs interested in the show literally said this about her. She is not lying. And yes, it is a problem. The larger issue is they don’t think of Black women as beyond one dimensional.


She needed to play a crackhead like Halle Berry did or a role like Charlize Theron in Monster to show that she's willing to get "ugly" and not bank on her beauty.

How many of those roles were available to her

(Halle is at least 15 yrs her senior and were there any "monster" type roles based on a black woman?)

Keke Palmer did PIMP but she's at least 10 yrs younger than Ms Good, not sure she could or would've done that role
