Starting out [as an actor], the primary objective is to get a job, to get a role, to get some sort of employment, to be heard. Then as you get the face and the name recognition, all the things you were fighting for, then a funny thing happens, you get more selective. More people know you, more people want you for different jobs. They want you not for your dreams but to have their dreams come through. If those two things do not meet then it is not a job that I am going to accept because I still have dreams and aspirations. I still want to meet challenges and be fulfilled. That means I will have to say ‘no’ to some jobs because I just don’t want to be paid, I want to be fulfilled. I want to give of myself. I want something that requires a little of my soul and my spirit, that is how I’ve always been. If I take a job, I don’t like to feel like I’m lying to the public. I want to work and I want to be drawn to projects and for more reasons than just the money. I’m not down to beans and water yet, so I’m cool. - Angela Bassett

Um, paging Viola and whatshername, “I just love me some fried chicken”head and any self-identified Tyler Perry or Steve Harvey film performing woman.

I love Viola and Angela but they’ve both done Tyler Perry films (Madea Goes to Jail and Meet The Browns). They’ve also done great work besides Tyler Perry. I feel like as a black actress there are times where you have to take whats being presented to you.That doesn’t make your work any more or less credible. Sure the movie can suck, but that doesn’t mean your performance isn’t worthy of accolades. I also don’t think it means that you should be branded a certain way because of it. (I still remember Vampire in Brooklyn, Angela. I’ll never forget that.) Viola (before Doubt and The Help) probably wasn’t being offered the types of roles she has now. Viola has even stated that herself in an interview that being a black actress (especially an older black actress) doesn’t exactly make people beat down your door so you can play a character with depth. She also said that she has to sit and think about playing characters that could be seen as controversial because it weighs on her mind. To me that’s worthy of all the credit and admiration that someone can give. If a role keeps you up at night then to me that means this decision is about more than just a paycheck. It’s about the responsibility that you’re taking on. To me, both ladies are equally wonderful because their genius, poise, grace, and wisdom extends beyond the silver screen.

“Hollywood” is responsible for the dearth of opportunities for Black women, full stop. Sometimes actors can make choices, even in the vehicle, that add nuance or subvert the stereotypes. I hoped the women could do that in this film. I like Viola as an actor, which is what leads to my disappointment. I thought her career was respected/established enough to not make that choice to do the film, or to make creative choices in her portrayal. I also think there is a difference between making silk purses out of sows’s ears and doing a job.

I also think there’s a way to add depth to caricature that I didn’t see in “The Help.”

I thought the AB quote was a powerful reference point. I’m disappointed that the same choices are offered and accepted almost a century after Hattie made those choices.
