Let's be real: Halle and Jamie are both in their 40s, and both of them have financially busted movies to their credit. Also, there is a serious problem with Hollywood's continuous decision to ignore the very best black female actresses in the world (I would put Regina King or Angela Bassett up against any actress in Hollywood, but they rarely get the roles they deserve). Hollywood has pushed what "Halle-would" do to the test, as this woman has always had to stretch the limits of decency to stay on top (remember Halle getting naked with Billy Bob Thornton a few years ago?). I hardly blame or judge Halle for her choices, since black actors and actresses are usually the last hired and the first fired.
