      Love her. Working actors gotta work because they have bills to pay too.

      Is the cigarette industry pulling a “Got Milk?” type of ad campaign in Hollywood? The smoking propaganda is relentless.

      This is her thing I guess? Venting about why she’s not more famous??

      I dunno about this cover shot. I don’t love the smoking but there must have been a better shot of her!

    5. Okay but I Can Do Bad was a good movie, watched it in jail for the first time ever in 2019

      These comments are so weird. Black women aren’t getting roles anymore and it needs to be talked about.

      I’m watching Person of Interest, and I’m curious to know more about her experience on that set given all the Jim Caviezel rumors. 

    8. Good for her doing theatre. She’s right re: not every actor can do it, it’s only for the mentally and physically tough

    9. Everyone fuckin talking about smoking instead of what this post is actually about. Yall part of the problem.

      I love her and her work and her  hair care line. This is great – ty for sharing!

      If I was Quinta Brunson I would be so thrilled to be mentioned by her like this. The idea that you are admired by someone like her

    12. Everyone acting as if she hasn’t gotten these shots is missing a lot of contacts here. Obviously actors of color are not being represented well these days, but Henson isn’t it lol.

      Proud Mary sucked and Tyler Perry movies are formulaic. It’s not the public’s fault that you spend a lot of time with those filmmakers.
