Perhaps her career can be rekindled if hollywood ever decides to make a movie based on Dr. Rice's phenomenal life and career. waiting....waiting....

[Spok]

So much for transparent token gestures from the Academy Awards. Halle's getting as uppity as that Rice woman. What's a liberal to do??

[TommyDale]

As I recall, Ms. Berry gave credit to her boobs when she won her Oscar. Sounds logical to me...

[atomicpossum]

"which left her partially deaf. "

But, unfortunately, not mute.

But, apparently, dumb.

[My2Cents]

Yeah, making movies from books. What a concept!

Then they could film "Ordinary People", "Little Women", "Tom Sawyer", "The Firm", "Hunt For Red October" . . . . .

..."Uncle Tom's Cabin..."

"The struggle for a woman of colour to find good material is still very present, and it's a struggle I fight every day," she said.

The lack of good screenplays probably doesn't have much to do with her skin colour. Hollywood is mostly dreck. They are devoted to profit, not to art.

Seven Razzie nominations this year. Check it out. :)

she had resorted to buying the rights of books she wanted to develop into films.

That just shows us how lazy and pampered she is. She's used to having everything brought to her on a silver platter. After the deafening silence of Catwoman, perhaps the "good scripts" aren't as plentiful.

[OB1kNOb]

The highest of high maintenance. Not worth it for more than an overnighter.

[My2Cents]

There must be some emotional investment in keeping up the notion that there are roles for black women and roles for white women and roles for latino women. Silly me.

And then there's Antonio Banderas. Poor guy.

[italianquaker]

no where did she mention her white mother i wonder why

[BibChr]

This broad is hot as all hell yet cannot keep a man to save her life. What does that tell you about her personality?

It may not be her personality, per se.

As a ring of gold in a swine's snout
So is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
(Proverbs 11:22)

Knowing how Hollywood is, probably true.

Look how many roles Leo DiCrapio, Julia Robers, and Ben Affleck get.....

[VeniVidiVici]

I think old Halle needs to go cry on Condoleezza Rice's shoulder.

[My Favorite Headache]

Ahhhhh well when all else fails...break out the ole

[My2Cents]

I don't get the reactions to someone who supports our view of Hollywood

Yeah, but she doesn't get it.

[mc6809e]

Maybe she should write a script and use her money to produce it instead of complaining about what OTHERS won't do.

[OB1kNOb]

Great reply, Danno. Nailheaded.

"The struggle for a woman of colour to find good material is still very present, and it's a struggle I fight every day,"

Yeah,and the struggle for Christians to find good material to watch is still very present as well.
Ask Mel Gibson what he did about it.

That's pretty much what I was thinking, too.
