Ah well ah guess folks run out of ideas.

In reply to chantilly Which black actress was first nominee for a oscar?and the most beautiful of the whole lot.Forget about hallie berry and beauty.
In reply to POINT
Cicely Tyson is in her own class? Please ship some of what you are smoking to me!!!! You and Wally smoking somethin good. Cicely Tyson, while great, is not by far the best and most definitely in a league of her own.
In reply to londoner
Why should we forget about Halle Berry and beauty? Is it because when we look up the definition of beauty her photo will be right there?
Hattie McDaniel is beautiful to you??
In reply to JahJah
Who is your best?
Londoner,before Dorothy Dandrige was nominated, Hattie Mcdaniel had won in Gone with the wind.
In reply to np
A top 5 without her is a joke. Top 2? Not so.
In reply to kami
who is my best? It certainly aint Cicely. Doh worry, is not Halle either. I doh let my second big head dictate my thoughts.
In reply to kami
and if my memory serves me right Hattie was the first ever black person nominated for an acting oscar and first one to win as well.
In reply to JahJah
Ruby Dee,Angela Bassett.......? Speak
In reply to kami
Ruby who??? Kami, please!
Ruby in top 10 though
Ah notice how people doh call Alfre's name. Now that is ODD!!!!!!!!
In reply to JahJah
Well,she don't make their top 5...Don't tell me Alfre is yours or you going for Thandie
In reply to kami
Alfre in the top 5. My babyluv Halle not in the top 5.
Top 5 include (in no particular order): Whoops, Angela, Cicely, Alfre & perhaps Ms Dandridge or Carroll. At least 3 of these ladies are EQUALS. None in a so called class of their own.
Too many guys think Drama is all but if I go with versatility and the WHOLE package and you twist my hand to name the top black ACTRESS ever (not just drama or just comedy) then I would say Whoopster.
But as you know, this is all subjective. I just thought the class of her own comment was a bit over the top.
Not a bad analysis at all.For the most part I find those lists hard to compile so I prefer to nudge others lists
In reply to kami
what odda list those?
Who is yu fave black porn star ever?
I soon tell yu mine.
In reply to OVAL291
Angel Kelly
Jeannie Pepper
I see you going ole school
How about:
Beauty Dior (not very pretty but she claps it well)
Cherokee (her bumper is so insanely HUGE and...well...DAMN)
In reply to JahJah
The little girl from Family Matters
In reply to kami
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
OH RASS. Yu know bout dat one deh!!?!??!?! Ah couldn't beleee me yeyes!!!
Dat girl did get on bad doh and she looked like she was really into it when I saw one of her scenes. DAMN!
In reply to kami Hattie mc daniel won a oscar for a supporting role.Dorothy was actullly a nominee to win one.She was the most beautiful of this whole lot put together.
In reply to londoner
Yu deh ah England all this time and still write dem disjointed sit'n deh? Dorothy Dandridge would have to be extremely perfect to be more beautiful than say, Halle and Angela Bassett put together.
In reply to JahJah
Hahahaha....I will keep it ole skool and add Ebony Ayes
In reply to Wally-1
CECILY TYSON is the best Black actress in the History of Movies . If you dont believe , just see " The Atuobiography of Ms. Jane Pitman " .
In reply to JahJah
I would readily agree that those who have never seen Ms Tyson will be ignorant of the range and power of her acting abilities .
Therefore your comments are of someone who has never seen Cecily Tyson , or has no knowledge about acting . Maybe it is a combination of not knowing anything about acting , and not having seen Ms. Tyson . Allow me then , to offer my sympathies .
In reply to POINT
*sigh*
Point, you should really STFU sometimes. You aren't speaking to some sprattas. I was involved in the film industry for a time a few years ago and I also wrote reviews for a small website way back when. Oh, my Ghanaian classmate (in high school) and I wrote two screenplays for fun and registered with the Writers Guld of America. We were VERY much into film. We would always watch 4 films a week and discuss them, analyse the weekly box office etc etc. This was from 2nd form up to 6th when he went back to Ghana, his dad's diplomatic stay ending.
I also ran a video rental operation (of movies I sat down and watched while I recorded them from my parents' satellite dish) for along time dating back to 2nd form in high school back in the late 80s. You don't want to know how many movies I watched back then, and I mean per week. People had to wonder how I got any studying done.
Finally, I did do workshops with the NYA (New York Film Academy) in London a few years go to top it off.
You see, it was a filmmaking degree I was to study at Syracuse U, in NYC (I believe Mr Douglas is a grad, doh remember) when I was leaving Jamaica and my mother didn't approve of it as a profession hence I went to the UK instead to study accounting.
Now, I have seen the majority of Tyson's work, so please do STFU and know yu place when yu addressing me on the subject of film. Tyson IS NOT by far the best or in any league of their own. She can ARGUABLY be the best. Stop getting carried away with the fact that she born in Harlem to Nevisian parents. You want to make it seem she is Olivier and the rest are Clooneys! It is obviously YOU who know nothing about acting!
OK?
In reply to kami
You mean Kellie Williams aka LAURA? Have nit seen her recently...whats she up to?
In reply to analyst-kid
Nope, I mean Jamie Foxworth who played Laura's little sister. Word is that she was broke and ended up doing some porn flicks
In reply to kami
Have you seen the flick to confirm this?
In reply to DukeStreet
the girl came on a talk show, Oprah I think talking about her ordeal.
And I saw a clip of her on the net doing her thang, aight?
In reply to JahJah
any facials...........
(1) Christina Milian.
Loretta Devine is a very underrated black actress.
Roxy Reynolds run de damn place. Find a better actress dan dat.
In reply to OVAL291
facial? I can't remember. Her scene was quite uninspiring.
Jaimee aka Crave
She nuh ready at all
In reply to DukeStreet
Nope,but heard her speak about her fall from grace(her words not mine).
the lady in gone with the wind.
In reply to kami
Ok dear.
In reply to JahJah

In reply to Banner
Dude, its a Seniors Community Center.
The pool is part of the integrated services at the Center.
In reply to XFactor
even if that were true, then so what????
what is yuh point??
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.............yuh have none.
In reply to SpudsMcKenzie
Spuds, the people you hang with are El Der Lee.
Watch out maan, one day youll slip and tell us how you does bang old ladies, and take their money to support your lofty lifestyle.
Carry on though, I would be the least envious of your talent.
In reply to OVAL291
I was hoping to get wild and look like she was enjoying. She was a real deadweight.
In reply to JahJah
The fact that you were involved in the Film Industry doesnt automatically mean that you can judge Talent .
I would agree that Dorothy Dandridge was a very good Actress , but in her time she wasnt given or allowed to have roles to highlight her abilities . Which obviously wasnt her fault .
If indeed you state that you were involved in the film industry , take a look at Cicely Tyson in " The Autobiography of Ms. Jane Pitman " . But I aint about to hold my breath .
In reply to POINT
Seems that box I gave you has shaken you. It was a director's workshop at NYFA. A director ent gon' know what to look for in a performance?
OK, let me humour you, what makes YOU capable of judging acting talent?
Oh, like I already told you...I HAVE SEEN MOST OF TYSON'S WORK and obviously it would include roles she won awards for. So why you telling me take a look at Pitman? I SAW IT. I also saw and loved her in "They Called Her Moses" etc etc etc
You seem to be forgetting on important thing. I am not saying Tyson wasn't top notch. She is in the top 3 BUT there is no way she is in Class A+ and the rest in A- or B+. She can ARGUABLY be the best but she ent on another planet from de rest.
Ahh, dat rhymes, cool. lol
It has hard to choose one as Kami said. I only barely go with Whoopi coz she can snuggle into just about ANY role you throw at her (ranging from action to comedy to drama) and still kick rass like a champ.
Listen pops, you not talking to Larr "DiCaprio is the best ever" Pullo.
Aight?!?!
In reply to JahJah
she must have been drugged up and high.........
In reply to OVAL291
well, most girls in the adult industry are in order to cope with what they doing.
That should be "A Woman Called Moses". The theme song "They called her Moses" stuck in me head. Loved that movie.
In reply to JahJah
Listen I am never impressed by persons who go about trumpeting that they are this and that .
I am therefore unimpressed by you saying that you are a Director . SO WHAT ??? , Are you saying that only Directors can assess the performances of Actors & Actresses ??? Surely you jest .
I have stated that Cecily Tyson is the finest Black Actress in Hollywood . THERE IS NO BETTER BLACK ACTRESS THAN CECILY TYSON . You cannot prove otherwise .
You have grudgingly admitted to that fact , after I cited one of her great roles . So Run along .
In reply to POINT
So you are impressed by your own initial boastings about me knowing anything about film? You are just upset because I put you in your place. You challenged me saying I knew NOTHING about film and acting. I cite my experiences and show that I indeed know about it. You are YET to show me what makes YOU an expert on film? What? The fact that you have a Cicely poster on your bedroom wall??
you are damn ass. Go read my first response to you. You are a likkle girl chile. Did I say ONLY directors can assess a performance? How you come like a sissy so?
Of course I can't you dumbass, it is purely subjective. I once had a dumbass like yourself try to convince me that Pauley Shore was a better actor than Spencer Tracy!!
REALLY?? Go read all my posts on this subject and come back and say dat again. I bet you only saw 5 Cicely movies in your entire life. Show me where I EVER said Cicely wasn't great or one of the greatest. My only contention was dat she is not Olivier and the rest Clooney!!!!!!!
Here is POINT's first response to me when I refute his statement about Cicely being on another planet from other black actreses:
Therefore your comments are of someone who has never seen Cecily Tyson , or has no knowledge about acting . Maybe it is a combination of not knowing anything about acting , and not having seen Ms. Tyson . Allow me then , to offer my sympathies .
Loaded with nothing but assumptions. This post by Point has been totally dealt a might box dung.
He thought he was dealing with some novice; a cinematic nobody. The horror he is now experiencing is tearing him to shreds. He stepped into a facting hurricane!
Listen to me Pointless:
Don't step to me like dat ever again yu hear Mr Pointless? yu venturing into my zone when yu tork bout film.
anytime yu ready Point, pass yu geriatric place again mek me tump yu dung yet again.
PS: I am still waiting to hear what makes YOU an expert judging how good an actor is. You challenged me on that note. I at least offered an explanation. You up til now have NOT!
