She did the best she could look at the careers of those in age group.

Things aren't like they are today. You had her, Halle, Sally, Elise Neal, tischina, and others right.

She was more a Hollywood type when you didn't cross over to tv until the career was over.

I mean hell faison is the only one who had a career after clueless the TV show.

Damn, good point :ohhh:

You can swap out Stacy Dash for Salli Richardson

At the end of the day Hollywood had/has a small quota for black roles. Halle Berry was anointed by the Jews and everyone else got scraps

Stacey > Salli

Salli made the leap into directing more behind the camera after or either during her show Eureka and now she directs more than acting

How many black actresses from that time had a career like Halle aside from Queen Mother Basset? Vivica, Mari, N'Bushe, girl from Bronx Tale, Karyn Parsons, Cynda, Vanessa Williams x 2 and many others. Even Jada and Nia didnt reach her level in the mainstream.

Doing Clueless pigeonholed her
Not into doing Clueless type roles necessarily but into not being taken seriously as an actress
It's probably another term for it but it's similar to what happened to Nicolas Cage career after Wicker Man and Ghostrider. People just view you different and so only mid ass roles are available to you going forward

Halle berry was Oprah's girl to spy on folks at parties and lead folks to Weinstein and co
Halle was ready and willing to sell her soul early and give up that body for anyone ready to get down having protection from the circle she ran with

Stacy didn't have a circle with tentacles in Hollywood to push her and she wasn't out there like Halle throwing it to everyone with a pulse.

That's the only difference. She is a far superior actress than Halle.
Sadly there is truth here. But the reality is ever chick that played the game didn't get put on like that.

And Stacey sold her own people out. If you do that you will let some middle aged white man fukk.

Vivica is a gen after Halle

Karyn is after Halle.
Vanessa Williams MS America went the movie route and got lucky being cool with Arnold but was successful mostly as a singer not actress

The other Vanessa Williams did tv not as big as sta y or Halle

Jada got lucky due to sleeping around with the Ivory's and then will saved her

Nia is a gen after Halle and career wise in movies she had Friday then a bunch of low budget Indy black films. Until her late 40#

Angela basset is the only one that really had a consistent Hollywood career but again you have the Oprah push benefitting her.

Nah Alicia Silverstone got the big Hollywood push after clueless she got nothing. Probably doesn't help she was in her late 20s when she filmed it while everyone else were teenagers except her and Paul rudd. Who didn't breakout in Hollywood until his damn 50s

Stacy didn't sell shyt out
Oprah and Halle fukked more actual black people before they had a chance and fukked lives up.
Stacy just did the gop grift for a few dollars.

How we defining a generation here? They all around the same age (Nia snd Jada younger) and they all came to my young horny attention around the same time. Halle aint even blow up like that until the late 90s, early aughts anyway.

She can act just as good as her and when it comes to looks she’s on her level (she’s better looking than Halle if you ask me)

But how come Stacey never reached the same heights as Halle?

Because, she didn't do many "black films" (alot of actress black and Latino for some reason, build up their resume doing black movies before making the the leap to A list. Attractive ones at least. The ones the stay entirely in the white film industry usually are cast as uglier matronly black women,
Her personality type is better suited for the career that Viola Davis had, But she is far too attractive to be cast in those roles. and not good enough an actress.

If she wanted to be as big as Hallee, she should have auditioned for some wesley snipes movies, or tried to get into some spike lee films
