Before Halle Berry, Samuel Jackson, and Chris Rock were playing crackheads--there was Diana Ross!
Those folks had to learn from somewhere,
and Diana had little or no competition for the job.
Just admit it, "Lady Sings the Blues" (shootin' dem' drugs up needle style)...she got high...
"The Wiz" (you remember the "perfume" company where her and lion got doped up in that back alley)...she got high ...
"Mahogany"(don't remember how or when BUT)...she got high.
Diana said, if she can't have a nappy ass wig and she can't get doped up in the movie...she don't wanna be in it. Seriously!
Think about it, and you'll never have to wonder why she hasn't been in more movies.
Based On Actual Conversation:
PRODUCER: So Diana in this film we'd like you to play Tina Turner's mother.
DIANA: (long pause)Do I get high?
PRODUCER: Uh...no...actually...
DIANA: Do I get to wear a nappy ass dried up wig?
PRODUCER: Uh...no...actually...
DIANA: Then why are we still talking?! (storms out of meeting)
There was only one movie where she played a straight character (Double Platinum), but she still had that nappy wig.
So this month's 15 Seconds of Fame winner is Diana Ross's dope fiend acting career.
*APPLAUSE*
I love those Diana Ross movies--what a dope fiend diva that Diana Ross is!
Unfortunately, I deleted Bokeem Woodbine's 15 Seconds Spot by accident.
Sorry folks...but check out the previous month's anyway.
