    Hello! I'm Gail Nobles and I want to talk to you again about Taraji P Henson. Taraji P Henson has played in The Color Purple of 2023 according to the Director Blitz Bazawule. She's actually singing in the movie, and she took some vocal lessons. Taraji has done an outstanding job.

    I could always see Taraji playing the life story of Tammi Terrell not knowing that she could sing.

    In case you didn't know Tammi Terrell was a singer songwriter widely known as a star singer for Motown records during the 1960s notably for a series of duets with singer Marvin Gaye.
    Though Taraji has talent in acting and singing, she might not want to play as Tammy Terrell, but she sure would be perfect for the role. If anyone approaches her with a pleasing offer, that would be awesome.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to Actors Stories and Film.

    Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to another episode of Actors, Stories, and Film. Today I'm thinking about the time when I was a little girl watching little Janet Jackson as May West. I didn't know who May West was until I had learned who Janet was imitating. May West was before my time. Janet Jackson was amazing acting as May West when she was a little girl.
    I remember on the TV comedy Good Times when she imitated May West while talking on a CB.

    “Well, I'm very mature for my age.”

    She would put her hands on her hip. Janet Jackson was an awesome May West. I think Janet would say her own lines imitating Mae West, but I remember Janet saying a famous line by May West.

    "Why don't you come up and see me sometime.” Janet would pat her hair near the back of her neck just like May West.

    I haven't seen Janet Jackson act like May West in decades. Now that she's a grown woman, she probably could act out May West better than she did before. Janet could make a small black and white mini movie and bring it in color acting as Mae West with song and dance. She could show off May West’s style and fashion and add her own.

    In case you're wondering, May West was an American actress singer, comedian, screenwriter, and playwright whose career Spand over seven decades. She was considered a sex symbol, and that's who Janet Jackson is. People consider her also as a sex symbol.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Today's episode: Janet Jackson as May West.

    Taraji P Hanson is an outstanding actress. We all know that movies are just movies, but Hendon can make them seem real as an actress.

    I'm thinking about several movies she played in like the movie Hidden Figures. The scene where she has an argument with actor Kevin Costner about the bathroom.

    “There is no bathroom, .. and I work like a dog!”

    Thouh Henson is just acting, it doesn't look and sound like it, and that's what we want in acting. She played as Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician.

    I'm thinking about the movie The Best Of Enemies. She always carried a tough look on her face in that movie.

    "We gonna beat school segregation once and for all!"

    Henson played as Ann Atwater, a community organizer in Durham, North Carolina. The movie was based on a true story.

    Then there's another film starring Taraji P Henson. It’s an action film. She plays as Mary Goodwin. She kills her target Marcus Miller in his apartment and she took care of his son Danny.

    “Hey! your mouth. I told you I wasn't gonna let anybody touch you and I meant it.”

    The name of that movie is Proud Mary.

    Taraji P Henson is a strong actress. She has played plenty of great rolls in movies in her Hollywood career.
