No. 2 · Ashley-Nicole

Zelda Harris (she played Troy in Crooklyn), She's a great actress and could definetly handle playing me in a film.

I'd get some up and comer whose career is on the brink of popping. that way my name will expand with her (think of what J.Lo did for Selena or what J.Hud did for Effie).

No. 5 · Emmy

None other than the fabulous Jill Scott…she's got all the elements of me: the smile, the natural, the thickness and the attitude!

Naomi Campbell if she could act,lose the temper and grow her edges in.

Or maybe Liya Kabede.

I would have to say Renee Goldsberry from One Life to Live & The Color Purple (Broadway Play) I loved her in OLTL as Evangeline.

By talent, Elise Neal.

By closeness to my looks according to myheritage photo thing:
-Victoria Principal - see it
-Gillian Anderson - see it
-Diane Kruger - meh. kinda see it
-Beyonce - mostly because I had cheek fat then and was smiling. Otherwise, don't really see it.
So probably Victoria Principal in blackface :)

Angela Bassett. She's the right age and she has that "Don't make me have to cut you" attitude.

No. 13 · Nicole

Unfortunately, no one in Hollywood looks like my mixed self, so I would have to a diva and say: Me! And Dwayne Johnson would play my husband (even though I'm not married), but then it would be in the fantasy genre and no much biopic. :-)

No. 14 · Slick Selebrity

Evan Ross, or if Zoe Kravitz was a boy, but it would be hot if she was a girl and played me as a boy

No. 15 · Kyla

I would have to say Sanaa Lathan, she looks like me and we both have that thicke hair!

ooo with Toccara's personality and thickeness. My family called me when they asked her why she was on Celebrity Fit club and she said she was perfect but she wanted to tone up!

Classic me!

This may sound crazy but, Niecy Nash. That's because I look just like her, just younger and she seems like a fun loving gal like myself. Plus I'm not that complex, so I wouldn't be hard to play.

Lol!…Hummm…Hummm…tricky question…

Whoopi Goldberg in white face ?

Keke Palmer. I feel like she could handle showing off all my peculiarities

And I mean a grown up (mid twenties) Keke

@TiP: I love Niecy Nash.

No. 21 · Chic Noir

I think Niecy Nash comes off as a bit Mammyish at times.

The only contemporary actress who could handle my life would be Jada Pinkett Smith….she's down, but can rock out, too!

I changed my mind. I will have to beg Tyler Perry to play my part. He can keep his mustache. Will totally have fun seing him with one of my ex in that car that rainy night. Butter popcorn please.

Nuh uh. Neicy is not mammyish. In order to be mammyish, one must be considered unattractive and curvy in all the wrong places. Neicy is very pretty and curvy in the right places. Yeah, her characters thus far would probably make one think she's mammyish but perhaps these are just the role she's been offered.

Daria, have you seen Neicy on that redocorating home show she does? That is what makes me she her as a mammy.

I really wasn't thinking about her figure. She has a nice shape, the type a lot of men enjoy looking at.
